SchoolDigger Rank ?

of 1,331 New Jersey Elementary Schools

Better than 12% of New Jersey elementary schools

Summary

A Chester Redshaw School serves 678 students in pre-K through grade 5 in New Brunswick, New Jersey. Its latest results show that students are doing somewhat better than the district average in ELA and math, but proficiency remains far below the state: Redshaw’s grades 3–5 averages were 24% in ELA and 23% in math, compared with 49% and 47% statewide. The most important finding is that local strengths have not closed the large gap to state proficiency.

Math is Redshaw’s clearest relative strength: its average is 3 percentage points above the New Brunswick School District and 2 points above nearby schools, though it remains 24 points below the state. ELA is 1 point above the district but 1 point below the nearby-school average. Grade 5 science is weaker: 7% of students were proficient, compared with 8% in the district and nearby schools and 27% statewide. Overall, Redshaw sits around the middle of nearby schools on ELA and math rather than standing out as a local leader.

Results have improved over the longer term, but the latest year was uneven. Since 2022–23, the grades 3–5 averages rose 6 percentage points in ELA and 15 in math, while grade 5 science rose 3 points; all three subjects remain well below state averages. SchoolDigger ranked Redshaw at the 12th percentile in 2025–26, with 1 star, up from the 5th percentile in 2022–23 but down from the 17th percentile the year before. Its statewide subgroup rankings also fell sharply: English Language Learner Students moved from the 46th to the 19th percentile, and Hispanic Students from the 44th to the 17th, a signal of a decline in SchoolDigger’s measure of how well the school serves those groups. Context includes a 10.3 student-teacher ratio in 2024–25 and 89% of students free/reduced lunch eligible that year; that income measure was below the 92.9%–97.0% reported by other listed New Brunswick district schools.
