Summary

Woods Road Elementary School serves 410 students in pre-K through Grade 4 in Hillsborough, New Jersey. Its 2025–2026 test results are strong overall, but the clearest standout is Grade 4, where it led the nine nearby schools with comparable results in both English language arts (ELA) and math.

Grade 4 results were well above district and state levels: 78% of Woods students were proficient in ELA, compared with 69% in the Hillsborough Township Public School District and 46% statewide; in math, the figures were 81%, 71%, and 47%. Woods’ Grade 4 scores were also 19 points above the nearby-school average in ELA and 22 points above it in math. Grade 3 math is a relative weak spot: Woods scored 71%, 3 points below the district’s 73%, though 9 points above the state and nearby-school averages. It also scored below all four nearby schools in its district on that measure.

Results have fluctuated rather than risen steadily. From 2022–2023 to 2025–2026, Woods’ two-grade average was about 76% in ELA in both years, while its math average slipped from about 78% to 76%; its math lead over the state narrowed from 33 points to 28. SchoolDigger ranked Woods in the 92nd percentile and gave it 5 stars in 2025–2026, second among nearby schools with rankings, just behind Hillsborough Township Elementary School at the 93rd percentile. One notable difference in SchoolDigger’s statewide effectiveness rankings is for Asian students: Woods ranked at the 46th percentile in 2025–2026, down from the 69th percentile in 2023–2024, compared with its overall 92nd percentile. Its 2024–2025 student-teacher ratio was 10.2. The school’s free/reduced lunch eligible rate was 10.5% in 2024–2025, just below Amsterdam Elementary School at 10.6%.
