Summary

Lucy N. Holman Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 534 students in grades PK-5 in Jackson, New Jersey, which is part of the Jackson Township School District. However, the school has consistently underperformed compared to state and district averages on standardized tests, with only 15.2% of 3rd graders proficient or better in ELA in the 2024-2025 school year, compared to 44.9% statewide and 25.1% in the district.

The school also faces challenges with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 14.9% to 20.9% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state average. Additionally, Lucy N. Holman Elementary School struggles to serve its diverse student population, ranking in the bottom 25-30% of New Jersey elementary schools for Hispanic, White, English Learner, and Special Education student performance. The school has a high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 50% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in 2023-2024.

While the school's per-student spending and student-teacher ratio are on par with nearby schools, its academic performance has steadily declined, with its statewide ranking dropping from 579 out of 1,360 schools in 2018-2019 to 1,008 out of 1,347 schools in 2024-2025. Nearby schools in the Jackson Township School District, such as Crawford-Rodriguez Elementary and Switlik Elementary, as well as schools in the neighboring Howell Township district, like Aldrich Elementary, tend to have stronger academic results.
