Summary
Located in Pitman, New Jersey, Pitman Elementary School enrolls 430 students in grades 2–6 and is compared here with nearby South Jersey schools. Its 2025–2026 results were generally above state averages, but performance varied widely by grade. The most important concern is sixth-grade math: 14% of students were proficient, 26 percentage points below the state and equal to the Pitman Boro School District.
The school’s strongest results were in ELA and grade 3 math. Across grades 3–6, ELA proficiency averaged 58%, 9 points above the state; across grades 3–5, Pitman averaged 61% in ELA and 58% in math, compared with nearby-school averages of 49% and 45%. Grade 3 math was especially strong at 75%, 26 points above the state. Grade 5 science was 31%, above both the state’s 27% and the nearby average of 26%. However, sixth-grade ELA was 49%, slightly below the state’s 51%, and sixth-grade math brings down the otherwise favorable math results. Pitman’s ELA average was level with the district, while its math average was only 1 point above the state and district averages.
Results and statewide standing have improved overall, though not in every grade: from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, average ELA rose 3 points and math rose 4 points, while grade 6 math fell 17 points. SchoolDigger placed Pitman at the 56th percentile with 3 stars, up from the 48th percentile and 2 stars the prior year. Its subgroup rankings differ: SchoolDigger placed Hispanic Students at the 84th percentile, 28 points above the overall standing, while White Students were at the 37th percentile, 19 points below overall. These rankings describe how well the school serves each group. Pitman’s student-teacher ratio was 13.1, higher than all ten nearby schools with reported figures. Its free/reduced lunch eligible share was 27% in 2024–2025, close to the nearby average of 28%; these are contextual figures, not explanations for results.
