Summary

Evergreen Avenue Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Woodbury, New Jersey, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 310 students. The school is part of the Woodbury City Public School District, which is ranked 526 out of 609 districts in New Jersey and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Evergreen Avenue Elementary School consistently ranks in the bottom quarter of New Jersey elementary schools, with significantly below-average performance on NJSLA (New Jersey Student Learning Assessment) tests in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. For example, in 2024-2025, only 13.5% of 3rd graders, 28.2% of 4th graders, and 35.7% of 5th graders were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to the state averages of 44.9%, 53.6%, and 52.7%, respectively. The school also has a high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with 61.94% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2023-2024 school year.

Compared to nearby schools, such as Woodbury Heights Elementary and Parkview Elementary, Evergreen Avenue Elementary School performs significantly worse in academic performance and other key metrics. The school's higher per-student spending and lower student-teacher ratio suggest that the resources are available, but may not be effectively utilized. Addressing the high chronic absenteeism rates and providing targeted support for students from diverse backgrounds could be areas of focus for the school and district to improve student outcomes.
