Summary:

The Township of Union School District in New Jersey's zip code 07083 is home to 6 elementary schools serving students from kindergarten through 4th grade. These schools exhibit a range of academic performance, with Washington Elementary and Livingston Elementary standing out as the top performers based on statewide rankings and test scores.

Washington Elementary ranks 462 out of 1,347 New Jersey elementary schools and has the highest test scores in the area, with over 57% of 3rd and 4th graders proficient or better in English Language Arts, and over 49% proficient or better in Mathematics. Livingston Elementary also performs well, ranking 715 out of 1,347 and having strong test scores, with over 57% of 4th graders proficient or better in English Language Arts and over 52% in Mathematics.

However, the data also reveals areas of concern across the 6 schools, such as high chronic absenteeism rates (14.9%) and varying levels of economic disadvantage, as measured by free and reduced-price lunch eligibility (ranging from 27.32% to 49.46%). Additionally, the relationship between per-student spending and academic performance is not clear, suggesting that other factors may be at play in determining school success within the Township of Union School District.
