Schools in Zip Code 07926

Zip code 07926 has two public schools serving preschool through grade 8: Mendham Township Elementary School (PK–4, 466 students) and Mendham Township Middle School (grades 5–8, 342 students). In 2025–2026, both schools were well above state results in every reported ELA and math grade. The middle school’s grade 5–8 ELA and math average was 91%, compared with 45% for the matching state results; the elementary school’s grades 3–4 average was 85%, compared with 48% statewide. The most important finding is that strong state-relative ELA and math results appear at both school levels, not just at one school.

The middle school stands out most against its grade-matched benchmarks: its overall ELA and math advantage was 46 points, and all eight reported results exceeded the corresponding state results. Its average advantage was 54 points in math and 38 points in ELA. The elementary school also exceeded state results in all four reported grades, with an average advantage of 38 points. The highest reported ELA or math score was 96% in middle-school grade 7; the lowest was 75% in elementary grade 4 ELA, still 29 points above the matching state result. School scores are not a like-for-like comparison because the schools serve different grades.

Recent results show different patterns: the elementary school’s average rose 3 points from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, while the middle school’s ELA average fell 6 points and its math average rose 2 points. Middle-school science also varied by grade: grade 5 fell 13 points, while grade 8 rose 4 points. SchoolDigger gives both schools five stars; the middle school ranked 3rd of 743 New Jersey schools in 2025–2026, while the elementary school ranked 33rd of 1,331. Reported 2024–2025 student–teacher ratios were similar, at 9.3 and 9.6. The elementary school reported 0.6% free/reduced lunch eligible in 2023–2024, and the middle school reported 0.9% in 2024–2025; these are different school years, not a same-year comparison. Chronic absenteeism was 4% at the elementary school and 2% at the middle school, versus 14% statewide.
