Summary

Alexander Elementary School serves 302 students in prekindergarten through grade 5 in Hamilton, New Jersey, as part of the Hamilton Township Public School District. Its 2025–2026 results show a clear strength in English Language Arts (ELA), but an important grade-level weakness: fourth-grade math proficiency was 36%, 11 points below the average at nearby schools.

ELA is Alexander’s strongest subject compared with the state, district, and nearby schools: its grades 3–5 average was 60% proficient, versus 49% statewide, 40% in the district, and 53% at nearby schools. Grade 5 science was also above those comparisons at 30%, versus 27% statewide, 16% in the district, and 23% nearby. Overall math was more mixed: Alexander averaged 46%, close to the 46% nearby average, just below the 47% state average, and above the district’s 33%. That average masks a notable split: fourth-grade math was 11 points below the nearby average, while third- and fifth-grade math were above their nearby-grade averages.

Results have shifted over time. Alexander’s average math proficiency across grades 3–5 fell 5 points from 2022–2023 to 2025–2026, and its position relative to the state moved from 8 points above to 1 point below. ELA rose 4 points over that period, while grade 5 science rebounded by 9 points in the latest year after a sharp prior-year drop. SchoolDigger placed Alexander at the 57th percentile with 3 stars statewide in 2025–2026, around the middle of its local group. In 2024–2025, 25% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible; the student-teacher ratio was 12.0, matching the nearby average. SchoolDigger’s subgroup ranking for Low Socio Economic Status Students fell from the 73rd percentile in 2023–2024 to the 15th in 2024–2025, when the school’s overall percentile was 42; its ranking for White Students was 28th percentile in 2025–2026, compared with 57th overall.
