Summary

Lafayette Township School serves 232 students in pre-K through grade 8 in Lafayette Township, New Jersey. Its clearest concern is Mathematics: in 2025–2026, students averaged 26% proficient across grades 3–8, compared with 40% statewide, a 15-point deficit; the school and Lafayette Township School District reported identical scores.

Upper-grade English Language Arts (ELA) is a relative strength, while Mathematics and some younger-grade results stand out as weak points. In grades 6–8, ELA proficiency was 53%, 71% and 73%, respectively, above the state rates of 51%, 56% and 53%; grade 8 was second-highest among five nearby schools with results, just behind Hamburg School. By contrast, Lafayette averaged 29% in Mathematics across grades 3–7, versus 35% at Frankford Township School, 40% at Franklin Borough School, 43% at Ogdensburg Borough School and 47% at Hamburg. Grade 3 Mathematics was 19%, the lowest among nine nearby schools reporting results, and grade 5 Science was 8%, versus 27% statewide and the lowest among seven nearby schools.

Results have moved in different directions: the average ELA rate across grades 3–8 rose from 45% in 2022–2023 to 53% in 2025–2026, while the Mathematics average across grades 3–7 fell from 39% to 29%. SchoolDigger’s overall ranking also declined from the 49th percentile in 2021–2022 to the 29th percentile in 2025–2026, when the school received 1 star; its district ranked at the 39th percentile. Context includes a student-teacher ratio of 8.5 in 2024–2025 and 6% of students free/reduced lunch eligible that year, the lowest share among nearby schools reporting the same measure. SchoolDigger’s ranking suggests it serves White students less effectively than its overall standing: the group ranked at the 10th percentile, compared with 29th overall, in 2025–2026. Its rankings for Male Students and Female Students rebounded to the 24th and 28th percentiles from the 5th and 13th percentiles the year before.
