Summary
Elizabeth F. Moore School is a 293-student elementary school serving grades 3–5 in Seabrook, in the Upper Deerfield Township School District. In 2025–2026, students scored below New Jersey averages in English Language Arts (ELA), mathematics, and science. Mathematics is the clearest concern: average proficiency across grades 3–5 was 14%, compared with 47% statewide, a 33-point gap.
Fifth grade is a relative bright spot against nearby schools, although scores remained below state results. Among seven nearby schools with fifth-grade data, only Deerfield Township Elementary School and Hopewell Crest scored higher in ELA, and Moore’s science result was higher than five of the seven nearby results. Fourth-grade mathematics is weaker: among nine nearby schools with data, only Cherry Street School, Buckshutem Road School, and Bridgeton Public Charter School scored lower. Fifth-grade science was the school’s closest result to the state, at 18.4% versus 27.4%. The supplied district test figures match Moore’s, so no separate district-wide comparison is available.
ELA has improved over time, while mathematics has made less progress: the three-grade ELA average rose from 22% in 2022–2023 to 29% in 2025–2026, narrowing its average state gap from 27 to 20 points; math rose from 13% to 14%, while its gap widened from 31 to 33 points. Science rebounded to 18% in the latest year after falling to 5% the year before. SchoolDigger ranks Moore 1,154th of 1,331 statewide, at the 13th percentile with 1 star, improved from the 4th percentile and 0 stars the previous year. Its statewide Special Education Students percentile is 57, well above the overall 13th percentile; its English Language Learner Students percentile is 2, down from 16 in 2023–2024. The 2024–2025 student-teacher ratio was 12.6, higher than eight nearby schools’ ratios. In that same year, 61% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible, close to the nearby average of 66%; these figures offer context, not an explanation for test results.
