Summary

Brunswick Acres Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 444 students in grades PK-5 in Kendall Park, New Jersey. It is part of the South Brunswick School District, which is ranked 144 out of 609 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Academically, Brunswick Acres Elementary School has consistently ranked in the top 30% of New Jersey elementary schools over the past 10 years, with its students performing on par with or slightly below the South Brunswick School District average, but above the state average in most grade levels and subjects. However, the school struggles with the performance of its Hispanic and White student populations, ranking in the bottom 30% and bottom 10% of New Jersey elementary schools, respectively, for these subgroups.

Other areas of concern at Brunswick Acres Elementary School include a sharp increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 6.6% in 2022-2023 to 16.6% in 2023-2024, which is significantly higher than the district average. Additionally, the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch has increased from 16.48% in 2021-2022 to 20.72% in 2023-2024, suggesting the school may be serving a more economically disadvantaged population. While Brunswick Acres Elementary School generally performs better than nearby North Brunswick and Franklin Township schools, it lags behind other South Brunswick schools like Cambridge Elementary and Brooks Crossing Elementary, which consistently rank higher in the state.
