Summary:
Zip code 08015 has two elementary schools in Pemberton Township School District: Denbo Crichton School serves grades K–5 and enrolls 855 students, while Joseph S. Stackhouse School serves K–2 and enrolls 242. Because Stackhouse serves K–2 and has no supplied test results, the figures do not support a direct achievement comparison between the schools. The most important finding is that Denbo’s results improved overall, but remained below state proficiency in every reported subject-and-grade comparison, with its largest average shortfall in math.
There is no basis for naming one school the top or bottom performer on test scores; within Denbo, grade 3 had the strongest 2025–2026 results in both ELA and math. Its grade 3 ELA proficiency was 37%, 8 percentage points above grade 4’s 28%; in math, grade 3 reached 31%, 16 points above grade 5’s 15%. Across grades 3–5, Denbo averaged 32% in ELA versus 49% statewide, a 17-point gap. Its math average was 21% versus 47% statewide, a 26-point gap.
Denbo’s averages rose from 28% to 32% in ELA and from 18% to 21% in math between 2024–2025 and 2025–2026; its average gaps from the state narrowed by 6 points in ELA and 3 in math. SchoolDigger’s Denbo ranking also improved, from the 11th percentile in 2024–2025 (1,203 of 1,347 schools) to the 16th percentile in 2025–2026 (1,113 of 1,331). For additional context, in 2024–2025 the student-teacher ratios were 11.7 at Denbo and 12.1 at Stackhouse, while free/reduced lunch eligible rates were 54% and 57%, respectively. Chronic absenteeism was 21% at Denbo and 20% at Stackhouse, above the state’s 14% at both schools but below the district’s 22%.
