Woodrow Wilson Elementary School has consistently been ranked in the bottom quarter of New Jersey elementary schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger for most of the past decade. The school underperforms compared to state and district averages on standardized tests, with proficiency rates ranging from 8.4% to 50% in English Language Arts and 0% to 34.7% in Mathematics, well below the state averages.
