Summary

Wedgwood Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 473 students in grades K-5 in Sewell, New Jersey. The school is part of the Washington Township School District, which is ranked 273 out of 609 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. However, Wedgwood Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom half of New Jersey elementary schools over the past decade, with a current ranking of 631 out of 1,347 schools.

Wedgwood Elementary's test scores are generally below the state and district averages across all grade levels and subjects. For example, in 2024-2025, only 50% of 3rd graders were proficient or better in ELA, compared to 51.5% for the district and 44.9% statewide. The school has also seen a steady increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 8.5% in 2021-2022 to 14.9% in 2023-2024, which is higher than the state average. Interestingly, Wedgwood Elementary's student subgroups show varying levels of performance, with African American and Hispanic students performing better than their White peers, but students with special needs and those from low socioeconomic backgrounds ranking in the bottom half of their subgroups statewide.

Despite being in the same district, Wedgwood Elementary's performance lags behind some of the nearby schools, such as Birches Elementary and Hurffville Elementary, which are within a few miles of Wedgwood. These schools have higher test scores, lower chronic absenteeism, and better rankings within the state. Addressing the challenges faced by Wedgwood Elementary and learning from the successes of these higher-performing schools could help the school improve and better serve its students.

Horrible! With the redistricting and the new principal the school went down the tubes. Such a shame! Close Quote
