Summary

Smithville Elementary School serves 572 students in pre-K through grade 6 in Galloway, New Jersey. Its results vary by grade and subject, but the most important concern is mathematics: in 2025–2026, proficiency averaged 32% across grades 3–6, compared with 46% statewide, with the largest gaps in grades 5 and 6.

Grade 3 is a clear local strength: Smithville ranked second among nearby schools in both ELA and math, and its scores were above the Galloway Township Public School District’s. Science is another relative strength locally: grade 5 proficiency was 21%, above the district’s 20%, and Smithville ranked third among nine nearby schools with results. Still, science remained below the state’s 27%. Later-grade math needs attention: grade 5 proficiency was 28%, 17 points below the state, while grade 6 was 25%, 15 points below. ELA results have improved overall, though grade 6 ELA was 11 points below the state in 2025–2026.

ELA proficiency across grades 3–6 rose from 30% in 2022–2023 to 41% in 2025–2026, narrowing the gap with the state; improvement was uneven, including a 18-point grade 3 increase and an 11-point grade 6 decline in the latest year. SchoolDigger ranked Smithville at the 33rd percentile statewide with 2 stars in 2025–2026, below the statewide midpoint but third-highest among nearby schools with rankings. Its student-teacher ratio was 10.4:1, and 50% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–2025. SchoolDigger’s statewide ranking for English Language Learner Students was notably higher than the overall ranking: the group placed at the 79th percentile in 2024–2025, compared with 33rd overall. By contrast, Special Education Students ranked at the 9th percentile in 2025–2026, down 29 percentile points from the prior year.
