Summary

Dr. Gerald H. Woehr Elementary School serves 490 students in grades 1–6 in New Egypt, New Jersey. Its results are mixed: math is a relative strength, but ELA varies sharply by grade. The clearest concern is grade 6 ELA: 39% of students were proficient in 2025–2026, 12 percentage points below the state’s 51% and the lowest result among the three nearby schools reporting grade 6.

Math is the school’s strongest area compared with the state: Woehr was above state proficiency in every reported grade, including 63% in grade 3 versus 49% statewide and 61% in grade 4 versus 47%. Its grade 3–5 math results also exceeded nearby-school averages, though grade 6 math—45%—was below the nearby average of 53%. ELA tells a more uneven story: grade 5 reached 61%, 9 points above the state and second-highest among five nearby schools reporting results, while grade 6 trailed Mansfield Township Elementary School and Chesterfield Township Elementary School. The supplied test results for Woehr and the Plumsted Township School District match, so they show no school-to-district difference.

Woehr’s SchoolDigger standing has slipped: it went from the 70th percentile and 4 stars in 2021–2022 to the 55th percentile and 3 stars in 2025–2026, placing it near the middle of nearby schools with current rankings. Chronic absenteeism improved from 27% in 2022–2023 to 24% in 2024–2025, but remained above the district’s 20% and the state’s 14%. The student-teacher ratio was 10.4 in 2024–2025, close to the nearby-school average of 10.7; 25% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that year, the middle value among nearby schools reporting the same measure. One notable subgroup trend is SchoolDigger’s statewide ranking for Low Socio Economic Status Students: it fell from the 82nd percentile in 2023–2024 to the 56th in 2025–2026, indicating a sharp decline in how well the school serves that group by this measure.
