Summary

Stillwater Township School is an elementary school located in Stillwater, New Jersey, serving grades PK-6 with a total enrollment of 287 students. The school is part of the Stillwater Township School District, which is ranked 186 out of 609 districts in New Jersey and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Stillwater Township School consistently performs above the state average in English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency across all grade levels. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's 4th-grade ELA proficiency rate was 76%, compared to the state average of 53.6%. The school's performance in Science is also noteworthy, with 5th-grade students achieving a 33.3% proficiency rate in 2024-2025, higher than the state average of 30.1%. Stillwater Township School's strong academic performance extends to various student subgroups, including male students, special education students, and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds.

While Stillwater Township School generally outperforms many of the nearby schools, such as Hope Township School, some neighboring schools, like Fredon Township School and Frelinghuysen Township Elementary School, have also demonstrated impressive academic results. Stillwater Township School's higher spending per student and lower student-teacher ratio may contribute to its academic success, though further analysis would be needed to establish a direct correlation. The school's fluctuating chronic absenteeism rates, while higher than the state average, present an area for potential improvement and further investigation.
