Summary:
Five schools in zip code 07446 serve students from prekindergarten through grade 12, from three elementary schools to a middle school and a high school. In 2025–2026, every reported regular grade-level ELA, math and science result was above the matching state result; the average advantages were 23 points in ELA, 23 in math and 18 in science. The clearest head-to-head finding is that Mary A. Hubbard Elementary School led Wesley D. Tisdale Elementary School by 10 points in third-grade ELA and 15 points in math.
Hubbard had the group’s highest reported third-grade scores: 85% proficient in ELA and 87% in math, compared with 75% and 72% at Tisdale. Tisdale was lower in this direct comparison, though both schools were above state results. Other standout results include Eric S. Smith Middle School’s 95% Algebra I end-of-course result, versus 40% statewide. At Ramsey High School, ninth-grade ELA was 75%, but its Algebra I end-of-course result was 38%, 2 points below the state’s 40%. SchoolDigger ranked Hubbard 25th of 1,331 elementary schools (98th percentile), while Tisdale ranked 155th (88th percentile); these are SchoolDigger rankings, not test-score rankings.
Across 27 school, grade and subject results available in both years, the average advantage over the state narrowed by 2 points from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, although changes varied: Hubbard’s third-grade gaps widened, while several results at Smith and Dater narrowed. SchoolDigger’s rank histories also differ: Hubbard rose from the 72nd percentile in 2023–2024 to the 98th in 2025–2026, while Ramsey High moved from the 92nd to the 87th. Hubbard and Tisdale have similar student–teacher ratios (10.3 and 10.2), but their free/reduced lunch eligible measures for sy 2024–2025 were 5% and 16%, respectively; these are context, not explanations for score differences. Tests and tested grades vary, so school-to-school comparisons are most useful when they match by grade and subject.
