Summary

Sunnybrae Elementary School serves 278 students in kindergarten through grade 5 in Hamilton, New Jersey, as part of the Hamilton Township Public School District. Its latest results show a combination parents should note: proficiency is below state averages in English language arts (ELA), math, and science, while chronic absenteeism is higher than at every nearby school in the comparison. In 2025–2026, about 38% of students were proficient in ELA, 34% in math, and 15% in grade 5 science; chronic absenteeism was 21% in 2024–2025, versus a nearby-school range of about 2% to 16%.

Math is the school’s strongest subject compared with its district, but it remains well below the state: about 34% were proficient, close to the district’s 33%, compared with 47% statewide and 39% at nearby schools on average. ELA was weaker against nearby schools: about 38% proficient, versus 47% nearby and 49% statewide. Grade 5 stands out within the school: ELA proficiency was 50% and math was 41%, both above district results for that grade. Grade 3 is the clearest weakness: ELA was 27% proficient and math 25%, compared with 38% and 37% districtwide. Grade 5 results still trailed several nearby schools, while grade 3 results were among the lowest in the group.

Results have fluctuated, but the four-year comparison points to widening gaps with the state: ELA fell from about 49% proficient in 2022–2023 to 38% in 2025–2026, while math went from 37% to 34% and grade 5 science from 20% to 15%. SchoolDigger ranks Sunnybrae in the 29th percentile statewide for 2025–2026, with one star, below the nearby-school average of the 41st percentile; the district is in the 24th percentile, also with one star. The 2024–2025 student-teacher ratio was 11.1, and 44% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible. SchoolDigger’s subgroup rankings differ notably: its measure of how well the school serves Hispanic Students was at the 56th percentile, compared with 29th overall; for White Students it was at the 8th percentile, down from the 24th percentile the prior year.
