Summary

Olivet Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Pittsgrove, New Jersey, serving grades 2-4 with a total enrollment of 351 students. The school is part of the Pittsgrove Township School District, which is ranked 409 out of 609 districts in New Jersey and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Olivet Elementary School has consistently performed below the state average in both English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics proficiency on the NJSLA assessments over the past few years. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school's 3rd grade ELA proficiency was 36.1% compared to the state average of 44.9%, and its 4th grade Mathematics proficiency was 39.5% compared to the state average of 46.7%. The school has also had high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 13.7% to 20.3% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state's target of 10% or less. Additionally, the school has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 24.62% to 26.61% over the past few years, indicating a higher proportion of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds.

When compared to other elementary schools in the Pittsgrove Township School District, Norma Elementary School and Elmer Elementary School have comparable or slightly lower proficiency rates in ELA and Mathematics. However, Olivet Elementary School's spending per student ($8,066 in 2018-2019) is lower than the state average, which may contribute to the school's academic challenges. The school's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with its African American students performing exceptionally well, but its White students and students with disabilities consistently performing below the state average.
