Summary

West End Memorial Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-5 in Woodbury, New Jersey, with 442 students. The school is part of the Woodbury City Public School District, which is ranked 526 out of 609 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

West End Memorial Elementary School has consistently ranked in the bottom quarter of New Jersey elementary schools, maintaining a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger for most of the past decade. The school's student proficiency rates on standardized tests are significantly below state and district averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2024-2025, only 22% of 3rd graders were proficient in ELA compared to the state average of 44.9%, and only 12.7% of 5th graders were proficient in Math compared to the state average of 44.2%. The school's performance also lags behind the nearby Evergreen Avenue Elementary and Walnut Street School, which are also part of the Woodbury City district.

West End Memorial Elementary School faces significant challenges, including a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students (65.84% qualify for free or reduced-price lunch) and a higher chronic absenteeism rate (ranging from 14.9% to 26.5% over the past few years). These factors likely contribute to the school's persistent low performance, which suggests the need for targeted interventions and support to improve student outcomes.
