Summary

Fernbrook School is a public elementary school in Randolph, New Jersey, serving students from kindergarten to 5th grade. With a student population of 504, the school is part of the Randolph Township School District, which is ranked 189 out of 609 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Fernbrook School has maintained a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger over the past several years, its student performance on the NJSLA (New Jersey Student Learning Assessment) tests is generally below the district and state averages, particularly in English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 30.8% of 3rd-grade students at Fernbrook were proficient or better in ELA, compared to 53.1% in the Randolph Township School District and 44.9% statewide. Similarly, the percentage of 5th-grade students proficient or better in Mathematics was 50.6% at Fernbrook, compared to 64% in the district and 44.2% statewide. The school also experiences relatively high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 7.8% to 16.6% over the past few years.

Interestingly, Fernbrook School's performance is generally lower than the nearby Shongum School and Center Grove School, which are also part of the Randolph Township School District. However, Fernbrook's performance is significantly higher than the nearby schools in the Dover Public School District, which are among the lowest-performing schools in the state. To address these challenges, the school and district should consider implementing targeted interventions, addressing chronic absenteeism, and exploring ways to better serve the growing population of economically disadvantaged students at Fernbrook School.
