Summary

Canfield Avenue School is an elementary school in Mine Hill, New Jersey, serving 366 students in grades PK-6. The school is part of the Mine Hill Township School District, which is ranked 328 out of 609 districts in the state.

Academically, Canfield Avenue School has consistently ranked in the middle range of New Jersey elementary schools, with performance on state assessments generally on par with or slightly above the state average in English Language Arts and Mathematics. However, the school faces some challenges, such as a concerning trend of increasing chronic absenteeism, which rose from 11.6% in 2022-2023 to 16.6% in 2023-2024, higher than the state average. The school's diverse student population includes a significant percentage of Hispanic and White students, as well as a notable population of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, and these subgroups tend to perform better than the overall school performance.

Compared to nearby schools, Canfield Avenue School's academic performance is generally stronger than schools in the Roxbury Township and Dover Public School Districts. However, the Center Grove School in the Randolph Township School District outperforms Canfield Avenue School in both English Language Arts and Mathematics.

Excellent school district! I have two boys, and they both had a wonderful experience at Canfield Avenue School. The school is the center of the community; the class sizes are small, the teachers and the administrators are wonderful. They are very caring and easy to talk to. Close Quote

Canfield Ave is an EXCELLENT place to put your child. Its Board of Education, teachers, staff & parents all work together to ensure the children's education is one of the best around. This school district not only worries about the academics of the children but also focuses on teaching them to worry about the community that they live in as well as each other. Citizenship, volunteerism, tolerance, and acceptance of those with disabilities are just some of the areas outside of the academics that this school focuses on. This school is one of the pilot school choice schools and many parents choose CAS as the place to begin their children's education. A must visit place, because once you do you will know you have found your child's educational home! Close Quote
