Summary

Green Grove Elementary School serves 296 students from pre-K through grade 5 in Neptune, within the Neptune Township School District. Its 2025–2026 results show that grade 3 is a brighter spot than the upper elementary grades, but overall achievement remains below state averages. The most urgent concern is mathematics in grades 4 and 5: proficiency was 9% in grade 4 and 6% in grade 5, respectively 20 and 11 points below the district results.

English language arts (ELA) is the school’s strongest subject overall, though its grades 3–5 average of 31% was below the district’s 37%, the state’s 49% and the four same-district peers’ average of 38%. Grade 3 ELA stands out: 50% proficiency was above the district’s 40% and the state’s 48%, and ranked second among the five same-district schools. Math was weaker overall: the grades 3–5 average was 17%, compared with 26% for the district and 47% for the state. In grade 4 math, Gables Elementary School and Thurgood Marshall Elementary School were the only nearby schools with lower results; in grade 5, only Midtown Community Elementary School was lower. Grade 5 science was also low at 6%, versus 14% districtwide and 27% statewide.

Results have improved more in ELA than in other subjects: its three-grade average rose from 22% in 2022–2023 to 31% in 2025–2026, while math fell from 21% to 17% over that span. SchoolDigger ranks Green Grove 1,100th of 1,331 New Jersey schools, in the 17th percentile with 1 star; that is up from the 5th percentile and 0 stars the prior year. SchoolDigger’s statewide effectiveness percentile for students with low socioeconomic status rose from 6 to 30 between 2024–2025 and 2025–2026, compared with an overall school percentile that rose from 5 to 17. The 2024–2025 student-teacher ratio was 10.9, and 72% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–2025; these figures provide context, not an explanation for test results.
