Summary

Washington Township High School in Sewell, New Jersey, serves grades 9–12 and enrolls 2,105 students in a local group of high schools. Its academic results vary sharply by subject: English is a strength, while mathematics is a serious concern. Most notably, in 2025–26 just 5% of grade-9 students were proficient in Geometry, compared with 50% statewide, and the school had the lowest result among nearby schools with reported scores.

English results stand out against the state and nearby schools. In grade-9 English Language Arts, the school scored 56%, versus 51% statewide and a nearby-school average of 50%; its grade-11 NJGPA English result was 85%, the second-highest nearby score, behind Pitman Junior/Senior High School. Math is much weaker: grade-9 Algebra I was 12% versus 22% statewide, and Geometry was far below both the state and nearby schools. Science was also below the state—23% versus 29%—but nearly matched the nearby average of 23%. For the school overall, the grade-11 NJGPA English result was essentially level with the Washington Township School District (85.4% versus 85.3%) and above the state’s 75.5%.

English has improved over time: grade-9 results rose from 44% in 2022–23 to 56% in 2025–26, moving from below to above the state. Geometry moved in the opposite direction, falling from 17% to 5%. SchoolDigger rates the school at the 47th statewide percentile with 2 stars, placing it fourth among nine nearby schools; its overall percentile has edged up from 44 in 2023–24. One subgroup result merits attention: SchoolDigger’s statewide effectiveness measure for English Language Learner Students is at the 3rd percentile, down from the 82nd percentile in 2023–24. In 2024–25, the school’s free/reduced lunch eligible share was 28%, and its student-teacher ratio was 13.2. These figures provide context, but do not explain the differences in academic results.
