Summary

Ramtown Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 399 students in grades K-5 in Howell, New Jersey, which is part of the Howell Township Public School District. The school generally performs above the district and state averages in English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency, but has seen its statewide ranking fluctuate over the past decade, ranging from 303rd to 661st out of over 1,300 New Jersey elementary schools.

Ramtown Elementary School has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 10:1 to 11.4:1 in recent years, which is better than the nearby Greenville Elementary School. However, Ramtown Elementary has seen its chronic absenteeism rate increase from 16.4% in 2022-2023 to 19.5% in 2023-2024, which is higher than the state average. The school's performance also varies across different student subgroups, with female students generally outperforming male students, and Hispanic and White students having higher rankings than English Language Learners and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds.

When compared to the nearby Lakewood Township School District, which is ranked 542 out of 609 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating, Ramtown Elementary School significantly outperforms the Lakewood schools in test scores and student subgroup performance. This may be due in part to the relatively low percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds at Ramtown Elementary (23.31% in 2023-2024), compared to the over 90% of students from low-income families in the Lakewood district.
