Summary:
Zip code 08027 has two schools in Greenwich Township School District: Broad Street Elementary School serves pre-K through grade 5 and has 290 students, while Nehaunsey Middle School serves grades 6–8 and has 137. The schools have different strengths, but science is the clearest area-wide concern: current results are 10% at each school, compared with state results of 27% for Broad Street’s grade 5 and 19% for Nehaunsey’s grade 8.
Nehaunsey stands out in several current results: its grade 6 and 7 ELA scores are 3 and 7 percentage points above the state, its grade 8 math score is 11 points above, and Algebra I End of Course is 18 points above. But its grade 8 ELA is 11 points below the state. Broad Street is below the state in every reported subject and grade; its strongest result is grade 3 ELA at 41%, still 7 points below the state, while grade 5 math trails by 23 points. SchoolDigger ranks Nehaunsey in the 49th percentile with 2 stars and Broad Street in the 22nd percentile with 1 star. Because the schools serve different grade bands, their overall results are not a like-for-like comparison.
Recent trends are mixed: across the six ELA grade results, the combined school average fell from 56% to 44%, while the state average moved from 54% to 51%; in math, the combined school average rose from 28% to 31%, compared with 40% statewide in both years. Broad Street’s grade 3 ELA improved by 22 points, even as its grade 4 and 5 results declined by 24 and 12 points. Nehaunsey’s average ELA fell from 74% to 53%, while its math average rose from 26% to 34%. In 2024–2025, free/reduced lunch eligible shares were 33% at Broad Street and 48% at Nehaunsey; student–teacher ratios were 10.1 and 11.0, respectively. SchoolDigger percentile rankings for both schools were 5 points lower in 2025–2026 than in 2023–2024; these figures are context, not explanations for test results.
