Summary

Union Township Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 220 students in grades PK-3 in Hampton, New Jersey. The school is part of the Union Township School District, which is ranked 42 out of 609 districts in the state and has a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Union Township Elementary School consistently outperforms the state average in both English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics for 3rd grade students. In the 2024-2025 school year, 67.3% of 3rd graders were proficient or better in ELA, compared to the state average of 44.9%. In Mathematics, 83.7% of 3rd graders were proficient or better, compared to the state average of 49.8%. The school also excels in serving specific student groups, ranking 18th out of 1,326 New Jersey elementary schools for female students and 50th out of 1,023 schools for special education students, both earning 5-star ratings from SchoolDigger. Additionally, the school has maintained relatively low chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 4.0% to 16.6% over the past few years, significantly lower than the state average of 16.6%.

When compared to nearby schools, such as Bloomsbury Borough School and Lebanon Borough School, Union Township Elementary School's 3rd grade ELA and Mathematics proficiency rates were significantly higher in the 2024-2025 school year. This consistent high performance over the past 10 years is a testament to the school's effective teaching practices and strong leadership, though the school's very low percentage of free/reduced lunch recipients may indicate potential equity concerns that the district may want to investigate further.
