Summary

Washington Elementary School is a public elementary school located in the Westwood Regional School District in Township of Washington, New Jersey. The school serves 322 students from kindergarten to 5th grade and is ranked 365 out of 1,347 elementary schools in the state.

Washington Elementary School is a generally high-performing school, with students consistently scoring above the state average on NJSLA tests, particularly in English Language Arts and Mathematics. The school's female students and Hispanic students perform exceptionally well, ranking in the top 25% and top 15% of New Jersey elementary schools, respectively. However, the school's special education students have struggled, ranking in the bottom 50% for proficiency. The school's per-student spending is lower than the state average, and its student-teacher ratio is slightly higher, which may contribute to the challenges faced by the special education population.

While Washington Elementary School's performance is generally on par with or slightly better than other schools in the Westwood Regional School District, it lags behind higher-performing schools in the region, such as Travell Elementary in Ridgewood and Ho-Ho-Kus Public School, particularly in Mathematics and Science. Additionally, the school has experienced a concerning increase in chronic absenteeism, which warrants further investigation and intervention.
