Summary

Toll Gate Grammar School is a 299-student, pre-K–grade 5 school in Pennington, in the Hopewell Valley Regional School District. Its latest results are well above New Jersey averages in every tested subject, although its advantage over nearby district schools varies by subject. Its clearest distinction from local peers is science, followed by math—not ELA.

Across the tested grades, the school averaged 76% proficiency in ELA, 83% in math, and 75% in science. Those results were about level with district peers in ELA (75%), but higher by 8 points in math and 22 points in science; compared with state averages of 49%, 47%, and 27%, respectively, the school was ahead by 27, 36, and 48 points. Against the three other Hopewell Valley elementary schools serving the same grades, its averages were about level in ELA and higher by 9 points in math and 26 in science. Grade-level results show both a standout and a weaker spot: fifth-grade math reached 93%, compared with 73% districtwide and 75% at Stony Brook Elementary School; fourth-grade ELA was 69%, below the district’s 76% and all three local peers. Fifth-grade science was 75%, the highest among those four schools, ahead of Bear Tavern Elementary School at 55%.

Over four years, average ELA slipped 3 percentage points, math rose 1 point, and fifth-grade science rose 4 points; results fluctuated along the way rather than improving steadily. SchoolDigger places the school at the 95th percentile, rank 73 of 1,331, with 5 stars for 2025–2026—up 9 percentile points from the prior year and the highest percentile among nearby ranked schools. Its student-teacher ratio was 7.7:1 in 2024–2025, and 5% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that year. SchoolDigger’s statewide ranking for White Students rose from the 75th percentile in 2023–2024 to the 92nd in 2025–2026, indicating a notable improvement in how well the school serves that group; its Special Education Students ranking was also high at the 98th percentile in 2025–2026.
