Best Elementary Schools in Zip Code 07735

Elementary schools in zip code 07735 include three schools: Memorial School and Keyport Central School serve PK–8, while Leroy Gordon Cooper Elementary School serves K–5. In the grades all three share, 3–5, math averages 52% across the schools versus 47% statewide, ELA averages 49% versus 49% statewide, and grade 5 science averages 25% versus 27%. The clearest finding is that Cooper stands out in shared elementary grades, especially in math.

Cooper leads the group in grades 3–5 math, averaging 68% proficient compared with 45% at Memorial, 41% at Keyport, and 47% statewide; its math results exceed the state figures in all three grades. Cooper also has the highest average ELA result in those grades, at 56%, versus 50% at Memorial and 41% at Keyport. Differences are not uniform across grades: Cooper’s grade 3 math result is 47 percentage points above Keyport’s, while Memorial and Keyport are less than a point apart in grade 7 and grade 8 ELA. In grades 6–8, which only Memorial and Keyport serve, Keyport averages 36% in math and Memorial 32%; their ELA averages are close, at 56% and 55%, respectively.

Results over time show a mixed picture: across the reported grades, school math averages rose 4 percentage points from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, while ELA averages fell 4 points. Cooper’s math average rose 18 points, while Memorial’s rose 3 and Keyport’s fell 1; Memorial’s ELA average fell 7 points, compared with 2-point declines at Cooper and Keyport. SchoolDigger ranks Cooper highest among the three at the 70th percentile, followed by Memorial at the 45th and Keyport at the 38th. For context, 2024–2025 student-teacher ratios were 12.5 at Cooper, 11.8 at Memorial, and 8.9 at Keyport; Cooper also had the highest reported free/reduced lunch eligible share that year, at 50%, versus 44% at Memorial and 47% at Keyport. These context measures do not explain test results, and the supplied Algebra I rows contain a district-value inconsistency.
