Summary:
ZIP code 07114 has one listed school, Link Community Charter School, serving 343 students in kindergarten through grade 8. The most important finding is the sharp grade-level contrast in 2025–2026: grade 8 was above state results in ELA and math, while grade 6 was well below in both.
Grade 8 stood out most relative to the state: ELA was 67%, 13 points above the state, and math was 37%, 15 points above. Grade 6 was the clearest weak spot: ELA was 30%, 21 points below the state, and math was 24%, 16 points below. Across the reported grades, the school’s averages were 47% in ELA versus 51% statewide, 34% in math versus 40%, and 13% in science versus 23%. Thus, ELA was closest to the state comparison and science furthest below it.
Results changed in different directions by subject. Compared across the same grades, the school’s ELA average fell from 59% in 2024–2025 to 50% in 2025–2026, shifting from 5 points above the state to 2 points below; grade 6 drove much of that change, dropping 41 points. Math improved relative to the state, with its gap narrowing from 11 points below to 5 points below, and science’s gap narrowed from 16 points below to 10 points below. SchoolDigger gives the school 2 stars, and its reported percentile rank declined from 44th in 2023–2024 to 30th in 2025–2026. Context figures include a student–teacher ratio of 15.5 and 72% free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–2025; chronic absenteeism was 21% that year, 7 points above the state. Because this is the only listed school, there is no local school-to-school comparison.
