Summary

Central School is an elementary school located in Warren, New Jersey, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 290 students. As part of the Warren Township School District, which is ranked 102 out of 609 districts in New Jersey, Central School has consistently maintained a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating strong academic performance.

Central School consistently outperforms the state average in NJSLA/PARCC assessments for English Language Arts and Mathematics across all grade levels. In the 2024-2025 school year, the school's proficiency rates in ELA and Math were significantly higher than the state averages, with 5th-grade students achieving 82.3% proficiency in both subjects. The school's performance on the NJSLA-S/Science assessment for 5th-grade students is also noteworthy, with 64.5% proficiency, compared to the state average of 30.1%. Central School's female students and Asian student population have also demonstrated exceptional academic performance, ranking among the top elementary schools in New Jersey.

While Central School's academic performance is generally strong, the school's chronic absenteeism rates, though lower than the state average, could be further reduced. Compared to nearby schools in the North Plainfield and Plainfield school districts, which have significantly lower academic performance and higher rates of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, Central School and other schools within the Warren Township School District demonstrate a district-wide emphasis on educational excellence.
