Summary:
The 08043 zip code area of Voorhees, New Jersey is home to 4 elementary schools that are part of the Voorhees Township School District, which is ranked 120 out of 609 school districts in the state and has a 4-star rating. These schools serve students from kindergarten through 5th grade and demonstrate strong academic performance, with several standout institutions.
Among the top-performing schools in the area are Edward T. Hamilton Elementary School, ranked 213 out of 1,347 New Jersey elementary schools, and Kresson School, ranked 201. Both schools boast consistently high test scores, with 68.7% to 85.9% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and Mathematics across grades 3-5. Additionally, these schools have relatively low free/reduced lunch rates, indicating a more socioeconomically diverse student population.
While the schools in the 08043 zip code generally perform well above state averages, there is one area of concern: chronic absenteeism rates. All 4 schools have a chronic absenteeism rate of 14.9% for the 2023-2024 school year, which is higher than the district and state averages. This is an issue that the Voorhees Township School District may need to address through targeted interventions and support for students and families.
