Summary:
The 12 schools in ZIP code 08012 include nine elementary schools, two middle schools and one high school, across the Gloucester Township Public Schools, Washington Township School District, Black Horse Pike Regional School District and Hope Community Charter School. The latest results are from 2025–2026, with prior-year comparisons available for many schools. The clearest takeaway is that school results vary widely—even within the same grade—so there is no single performance level that describes the area.
Among elementary schools, Bells, Birches and Whitman stand out in ELA: each leads a different grade, scoring 60% in grade 3, 71% in grade 5 and 60% in grade 4, respectively, compared with state results of 48%, 52% and 46%. Math has a notable exception: Gloucester Township Elementary scores 68% in grade 3 and 58% in grade 4, 19 and 12 percentage points above the state. At the lower end, Hope Community Charter scores 9% in grade 5 ELA and 0% in grade 5 math; Blackwood scores 25% in grade 3 ELA and 19% in grade 3 math. In middle school, Glen Landing averages 47% in grades 6–8 ELA and 32% in math, above Charles W. Lewis at 35% and 21%; both schools, however, score 85% or more in grade 8 Algebra I.
Elementary averages have moved farther below state results since 2024–2025: by about 2 percentage points in ELA and 2 points in math. Individual results tell a more varied story: Bells rose in each of its three ELA grades, while Birches and Whitman had declines in some grades. SchoolDigger’s rankings also diverged: Bells rose 10 percentile points from 2023–2024 to 2025–2026, while Whitman fell 17 points and Birches 16. The reported 2024–2025 free/reduced lunch eligible shares range from 21% at Bells to 61% at Charles W. Lewis; these figures are context, not an explanation for test results.
