Summary

Maurice Hawk Elementary School serves 723 students in PK–3 in West Windsor, NJ, as part of the West Windsor-Plainsboro Regional School District. Its clearest strength is third-grade achievement: in 2025–26, 77% of students were proficient in both English language arts and math, with the school leading nearby schools in math and placing second in ELA.

Those results are well above district and state rates: ELA proficiency was 77% at Maurice Hawk, compared with 64% districtwide and 48% statewide; math was 77%, versus 67% and 49%. Among seven nearby schools with reported third-grade scores, Maurice Hawk was 12 percentage points above the ELA average and 10 points above the math average. Johnson Park School had the higher nearby ELA score, at 79%, while J.V.B. Wicoff Elementary School was next in math, at 70%. Attendance is a relative weakness: chronic absenteeism was 10% in 2024–25, about 2 points above the district’s 9%, though below the state’s 14%. These are third-grade comparisons and include only nearby schools with reported results.

Scores have improved since 2022–23: ELA rose 13 points and math rose 10, though math eased from 77.1% in 2024–25 to 76.5% in 2025–26. SchoolDigger ranks Maurice Hawk 103rd of 1,331 New Jersey schools, in the 92nd percentile with 5 stars. Its student–teacher ratio is 11.4, and 11% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–25; these figures provide context, not an explanation for results. SchoolDigger’s statewide rankings also show a sharp rise in how well the school serves students with disabilities: from the 44th percentile in 2023–24 to the 93rd in 2025–26. Its ranking for serving low-socioeconomic-status students rose from the 39th to the 87th percentile over the same period.
