Summary:
Zip code 07702 has one listed public school, Shrewsbury Borough Elementary School, serving pre-K through grade 8 with 439 students in the Shrewsbury Borough School District. The school’s reported 2025–2026 proficiency results were above New Jersey’s in every listed grade and subject. Its strongest average advantage was in mathematics, where proficiency averaged 76% compared with 40% statewide, a 36-point lead. The most important finding is that the school performed above state results across all reported grade-level tests.
There is no top or bottom school comparison to make because only one school is listed; the useful benchmark is the state. The school’s average lead was 28 points in ELA (79% versus 51%) and 26 points in science (50% versus 23%) in 2025–2026. Algebra I was a particular strength: proficiency was 100% in both reported categories, compared with 40% statewide for the end-of-course category and 75% for eighth grade. Still, results varied by grade: grade 6 proficiency fell from 93% to 67% in ELA and from 93% to 69% in math between years, even as grade 8 math rose by 28 points and grade 4 ELA by 22 points.
Average results and the school’s advantage over the state improved from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, though these are year-to-year grade results, not progress by the same students. The average ELA score rose from 76% to 79%, and its state lead widened from 23 to 28 points; math rose from 72% to 76%, with its lead growing from 32 to 36 points. Science rose from 32% to 50%, and its lead widened from 7 to 26 points, largely reflecting an eighth-grade science increase of 29 points. SchoolDigger ranked the school 132 of 1,331 schools (90th percentile, five stars) in 2025–2026, up from 237 of 1,347 (82nd percentile, four stars) the prior year. For 2024–2025, the school reported an 8.4 student-teacher ratio, 4% chronic absenteeism versus 14% statewide, and 1% of students free/reduced lunch eligible.
