Summary
Port Republic Elementary School District serves 110 students in grades K–8 in Port Republic, New Jersey, and is much smaller than nearby schools, which enroll 285–677 students. Its results stand out among nearby schools, especially in ELA, but vary sharply by grade and subject; the clearest exception is eighth-grade science, where no students were proficient.
In 2025–2026, Port Republic had the highest reported nearby ELA results in every grade with a same-grade comparison: 55% in grade 3, 67% in grade 4, 58% in grade 5, and 54% in grade 6. It also led nearby schools in grade 3 math at 55% and grade 5 math at 67%, and in grade 5 science at 42%. That fifth-grade science result was above the state’s 27% and the nearby high of 22% at Arthur Rann Elementary School. By contrast, eighth-grade science was 0%, below the state’s 19% and the 3% reported by Atlantic Community Charter School. The school’s latest results are strong locally, but not consistently across grades.
Over time, math’s advantage over the state has narrowed: its unweighted average across grades 3–7 fell from 64% in 2023–2024 to 52% in 2025–2026, a 13-point drop; its latest advantage over the state was 8 points. ELA’s six-grade average was 62% in 2025–2026, 11 points above the state. SchoolDigger rates the school 3 stars and ranks it 518 of 1,331 schools, in the 61st percentile; the linked Port Republic School District is also rated 3 stars and ranks 250 of 607 districts, in the 59th percentile. In 2024–2025, 3% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible, the student-teacher ratio was 9, and chronic absenteeism was 9%, below the state’s 14%. One notable SchoolDigger subgroup result is its ranking for White Students: the school was at the 33rd percentile in 2025–2026, compared with its overall 61st percentile, and the subgroup ranking fell from the 72nd percentile in 2017–2018. This ranking measures how well the school serves that group; it is not a description of individual students.
