Summary

Sunnymead Elementary School serves 530 students in grades K–4 in Hillsborough, New Jersey. In 2025–2026, its grade 3 and 4 results were well above state averages, with proficiency averaging 68% in English Language Arts (ELA) and 66% in mathematics. But families comparing nearby schools should know the key finding: Sunnymead’s averages were below those of all three nearby Hillsborough elementary schools in ELA, and its mathematics results were especially less competitive.

ELA is Sunnymead’s stronger subject, though the school trails both its district and nearby peers. Its averages were 68% in ELA and 66% in mathematics, compared with 72% and 72% for the Hillsborough Township Public School District, and 47% and 48% statewide. Among nearby Hillsborough schools, Sunnymead’s ELA average was below Amsterdam Elementary School (74%), Hillsborough Township Elementary School (72%) and Triangle Elementary School (71%). Grade 4 is the clearest concern: Sunnymead scored 63% in ELA and 61% in math, below the district’s 69% and 71% in those subjects.

Recent trends are mixed: comparing 2022–2023 with 2025–2026, average proficiency fell 6 points in ELA and 8 points in math, with grade 4 driving much of the decline. SchoolDigger ranked Sunnymead at the 80th percentile statewide and gave it 4 stars in 2025–2026; its student-teacher ratio was 13.3 in 2024–2025, the highest among nearby schools with reported ratios. Its free/reduced lunch eligible share was 25% in 2024–2025. SchoolDigger’s ranking for English Language Learner Students was at the 47th percentile in 2025–2026, down from the 91st percentile in 2023–2024, notably below the school’s overall 80th-percentile rank. Its ranking for Hispanic Students was at the 56th percentile in 2025–2026, also below the overall rank.
