Summary:
Zip code 07747 has four elementary schools in the Matawan-Aberdeen Regional School District, serving grades PK through 5 and enrolling 1,681 students; reported student-teacher ratios range from 11 to 13.8, and 2024–2025 free/reduced lunch eligible shares range from 20% to 37%. The schools’ latest results are mixed: their average was above the state in ELA but below it in math, making math the clearest area of concern.
Strathmore Elementary School stands out among the two schools with grade 3 results: in 2025–2026, 58% of students were proficient in ELA and 54% in math, compared with 53% and 29% at Ravine Drive Elementary School. Strathmore led Ravine by 5 percentage points in ELA and 24 points in math; Ravine’s math result was 20 points below the state’s 49%. Lloyd Road Elementary School was above the state in both tested ELA grades (51% versus 46% in grade 4; 56% versus 52% in grade 5), but below it in math in both grades. Its grade 5 science result was nearly level with the state, at 27% versus 27%. No test results are supplied for Cambridge Park Elementary School, which serves PK–K.
Recent changes particularly separate the two PK–3 schools: Ravine’s grade 3 ELA fell 12 points and its math fell 21 points from 2024–2025, while Strathmore’s ELA was essentially unchanged and its math rose 1 point. SchoolDigger rankings shifted from the 66th to the 38th percentile for Ravine (3 stars to 2), while Strathmore moved from the 64th to the 62nd percentile and stayed at 3 stars. As context, 2024–2025 free/reduced lunch eligible shares were 24% at Strathmore and 29% at Ravine; Lloyd had the highest share at 37%, and Cambridge Park the lowest at 20%. These characteristics provide context, not an explanation for the score differences.
