Summary

Hamburg School serves 246 students in prekindergarten through grade 8 in Hamburg, a Sussex County community in northern New Jersey. Its test results match those reported for the Hamburg School District, though school and district ratings measure different things. The clearest academic pattern is a sharp split: upper-grade strengths, especially in English Language Arts (ELA), alongside pronounced weaknesses in grade 4 math and grade 5 science.

In 2025–2026, Hamburg’s ELA proficiency was strongest in grades 7 and 8: 75% and 74%, compared with 56% and 53% statewide; these were the highest results among nearby schools with results for those grades. The contrast is striking in grade 4 math, where 22% were proficient versus 47% statewide, the lowest among nearby schools with reported results, and grade 5 science, at 9% versus 27%, also the lowest among nearby schools with results. Across the supplied grades, Hamburg’s average was above the state in ELA by 4 points, but below it in science by 8 points. Its district’s reported test figures match the school’s exactly.

Results have shifted over time: the equal-grade science average fell from 29% in 2022–2023 to 15% in 2025–2026, while math improved relative to the state over the full period but eased from its 2024–2025 peak. SchoolDigger gave Hamburg 2 stars and the 40th statewide percentile in 2025–2026, down 18 percentile points from the prior year; the district is rated 3 stars and at the 56th percentile. Hamburg’s student–teacher ratio was 8.1 in 2024–2025, the lowest among nearby schools with reported figures. Its free/reduced lunch eligible share was 32% that year, compared with a 26% average at nearby schools with the same measure. SchoolDigger’s ranking for how well the school serves Low Socio Economic Status Students was at the 96th percentile in 2024–2025, versus the school’s overall 58th percentile; its ranking for how well it serves White Students was at the 14th percentile in 2025–2026, versus an overall 40th percentile.
