Summary:
Schools in ZIP code 08037 include six schools serving children from early childhood through high school: four elementary schools, one middle school and one high school, with 4,033 students total and enrollments ranging from 375 to 1,315. Five schools have test results listed; Hammonton Early Childhood Educational Center does not. Results differ sharply by grade and subject, so no single score captures the area: the most important finding is the 40-point spread in grade 3 math among schools with results.
Warren E. Sooy Junior Elementary School stands out in grade 3, with 50% in ELA and 52% in math, about 2 points above state results in each. Folsom Elementary School led grade 4 ELA at 58%, 12 points above the state, and was also above state results in grade 7 ELA and math. At grade 8, Hammonton Middle School had a notable Algebra I result: 92%, 18 points above the state and 15 points above Folsom. At the low end, Winslow Township Elementary School One scored 11% in grade 3 math, 38 points below the state; its grade 3 ELA score was 31%, 18 points below. Hammonton High School had a mixed profile, with grade 9 Geometry above state results but ELA and Algebra I below.
Recent changes were mixed: across 35 grade-and-subject comparisons, the average school-to-state gap shifted about 1 point downward from 2024–25 to 2025–26. Sooy improved its state-relative gap in every reported ELA and math grade; Folsom grade 7 ELA rose 18 points, while Hammonton High grade 9 ELA fell 10 points and Winslow One grade 3 math fell 10.

As context, all six schools reported free/reduced lunch eligible figures for 2024–25: 28% at Folsom and 68% at Winslow One; their student-teacher ratios were 9.6 and 11.8, respectively. These measures do not explain test results, which vary within schools as well as between them.
