Summary

Triangle Elementary School is a high-performing public elementary school serving grades PK-4 in Hillsborough, New Jersey, with 364 students. As part of the Hillsborough Township Public School District, which is ranked 103 out of 609 districts in the state, Triangle Elementary consistently ranks among the top elementary schools in New Jersey, currently at 216 out of 1,347.

Triangle Elementary School excels academically, with students significantly outperforming state and district averages on the NJSLA (New Jersey Student Learning Assessment) tests in both English Language Arts and Mathematics. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, 68.5% of 3rd graders and 71.3% of 4th graders were proficient or better in ELA, compared to 44.9% and 53.6% statewide, respectively. The school also performs exceptionally well in several student subgroups, ranking 130 out of 1,317 for female students, 113 out of 1,313 for male students, 60 out of 340 for Asian students, and 52 out of 989 for special education students.

While Triangle Elementary School is a high-performing institution, it is not the highest-ranked school in the Hillsborough Township Public School District. Both Woods Road Elementary School and Hillsborough Township Elementary School have higher rankings and test scores in some areas, particularly in Mathematics. Additionally, Triangle Elementary School's relatively low percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients suggests it serves a more affluent population, which may contribute to its strong academic performance.
