Summary

Eldridge Park School in Lawrenceville, NJ, serves pre-K through grade 3 and enrolls 212 students; nearby comparisons include schools from several districts. The supplied test results are for third grade only. In 2025–2026, 55% of third graders were proficient in English Language Arts (ELA) and 55% in math, with both scores above the state averages. The clearest takeaway is that Eldridge Park ranked third among 11 schools in the comparison in both subjects.

Eldridge Park stands out against the wider nearby-school group, but is a little behind its district peers. Its ELA score was 7 points above the state and 25 points above the nearby-school average; in math, it was 6 points above the state and 25 above the nearby average. Within the Lawrence Township Public School District, however, Eldridge Park was 1 point below the district in ELA and 2 points below in math. It placed third among the district’s four schools in both subjects, behind Lawrenceville Elementary School and Slackwood Elementary School, and ahead of Ben Franklin Elementary.

Third-grade results have improved over four years: ELA proficiency rose from 35% in 2022–2023 to 55% in 2025–2026, a 20-point gain, while math rose from 48% to 55%, a 7-point gain. SchoolDigger’s statewide percentile rose from 45 to 60 over that period, and its rating increased from 2 to 3 stars; its current percentile was third-highest among the 11 schools. SchoolDigger’s group rankings also show especially strong results for Hispanic students, at the 88th percentile compared with 60 overall, and for students receiving special education, at the 82nd percentile. In 2024–2025, the student-teacher ratio was 10.4, and 34% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible, close to the 33% average among district neighbors. Chronic absenteeism was 10%, below the district’s 11% and the state’s 14%.
