Summary:
The 08016 zip code area is home to 9 schools, including 5 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 3 high schools, spanning the Burlington Township School District and the Burlington City Public School District. The data reveals notable differences in performance and demographics between the two districts, with the Burlington Township High School and Fountain Woods Elementary School standing out as high-performing schools, while the Burlington City High School faces challenges with a higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.
The data shows a clear divide between the Burlington Township and Burlington City school districts, with the Burlington Township schools generally outperforming their counterparts in the Burlington City district. For example, Burlington Township High School has the highest enrollment, the highest 4-year graduation rate, and the lowest dropout rate, while also scoring above the district and state averages on standardized tests. In contrast, Burlington City High School has the highest percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, but still maintains a relatively high graduation rate and low dropout rate.
Among the elementary schools, Fountain Woods Elementary School and B. Bernice Young Elementary School, both part of the Burlington Township district, appear to be the strongest performers, with test scores above the district and state averages. The data also reveals that all schools in the 08016 zip code area have the same chronic absenteeism rate of 14.9%, which is the state average, suggesting a broader issue that may need to be addressed across the region.
