Summary:
The 07871 zip code area in Sparta Township, New Jersey is home to three elementary schools that are part of the Sparta Township Public School District. These schools serve students from kindergarten through 5th grade and are ranked 192 out of 609 school districts in the state, with a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Among the three schools, Alpine Elementary School stands out for its exceptional academic performance, ranking in the top 10% of New Jersey elementary schools in 2013-2014 and maintaining a 4-star rating in the following two years. It also has the lowest chronic absenteeism rate (14.9%) and the lowest percentage of free/reduced lunch recipients (3.54%) among the three schools. In contrast, Helen Morgan School outperforms the state and district averages in NJSLA test scores for English Language Arts and Mathematics in grades 4 and 5, and has the highest per-student spending ($9,972) and the lowest student-teacher ratio (11.5) among the three schools.
While all three schools have the same chronic absenteeism rate of 14.9% for the 2023-2024 school year, Mohawk Avenue School has seen a decline in its statewide ranking, dropping from 566th out of 1,342 schools in 2022-2023 to 444th out of 1,347 schools in 2024-2025. This suggests that the schools in the 07871 zip code area may have varying levels of resource allocation and prioritization within the district, which could impact their academic performance and overall quality of education.
