Summary:
The 07850 zip code is home to a single elementary school, Nixon Elementary School, which serves grades PK-4 and is part of the Roxbury Township School District. With a total enrollment of 245 students, Nixon Elementary School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of New Jersey elementary schools over the past three years, indicating persistent challenges in academic performance.
Nixon Elementary School's academic achievement lags behind both district and state averages. In the 2024-2025 school year, the school's proficiency rates in NJSLA/English Language Arts and Mathematics were below the district and state averages for both 3rd and 4th grades. The school's 3rd grade proficiency rates were 38.9% in ELA and 48.6% in Math, compared to the district averages of 38.8% and 42.7%, and the state averages of 44.9% and 49.8%, respectively. Similarly, the school's 4th grade proficiency rates were 39.3% in ELA and 32.2% in Math, compared to the district averages of 52.2% and 41.5%, and the state averages of 53.6% and 46.7%, respectively.
Despite the school's low student-to-teacher ratio of 9.2 to 1 and relatively high per-student spending of $13,933 in the 2018-2019 school year, Nixon Elementary School's academic performance remains a concern. The school's 2 out of 5 star rating from SchoolDigger further underscores the need for targeted interventions and support to improve student learning outcomes and ensure that all students in the 07850 zip code have access to a high-quality education.
