Summary

Johnson Park School is a 360-student PK–5 elementary school in Princeton, New Jersey, serving families in the Princeton area. In 2025–26, its average proficiency was 74% in English language arts (ELA) and 73% in math—about 25 and 26 percentage points above state averages. Yet strong state comparisons do not tell the whole story: the clearest local academic weakness is fifth-grade science, where the school fell below both its district and nearby-school averages.

Results vary considerably by grade when compared with nearby schools. Third-grade ELA was a standout: 79% proficiency ranked second among 11 nearby schools with comparable scores, while fourth-grade ELA was 69%, ranking seventh of eight and 7 points below that group’s average. Fifth-grade math was stronger, ranking third of seven; third-grade math ranked eighth of 11. In fifth-grade science, 54% proficiency was 8 points below the Princeton Public School District and 11 points below the nearby-school average. By contrast, ELA and math averages were essentially even with the district. Johnson Park was above the state in all three subjects, including science, where its result was 27 points above the state.

Scores have risen since 2022–23: ELA increased by about 5 points, math by 3, and fifth-grade science by 3, though results have fluctuated between years. SchoolDigger ranks Johnson Park 140th of 1,331 New Jersey schools, at the 89th percentile and four stars for 2025–26; its percentile is near the nearby-school average of 88. In 2024–25, its 9.3:1 student–teacher ratio was below the nearby average of 10.3:1, and 21% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible—the highest share among nearby schools with the same measure and year. SchoolDigger’s 2024–25 ranking for how well the school serves Low Socio Economic Status Students was at the 26th percentile, down 63 percentile points from 2022–23, compared with the school’s overall 82nd percentile that year. Its 2025–26 ranking for serving Hispanic Students was at the 71st percentile, below its overall 89th percentile. Chronic absenteeism also improved, falling to 7% in 2024–25, below the district’s 8% and the state’s 14%.
