Summary:
The 08054 zip code of Mount Laurel, New Jersey is home to 6 elementary schools that are part of the Mount Laurel Township School District. These schools serve grades PK-4 and range in size from 306 to 501 students.
Among the schools, Springville Elementary School and Parkway Elementary School stand out, both consistently ranking in the top half of New Jersey elementary schools with 3-star ratings from SchoolDigger. Springville Elementary has the highest student performance on NJSLA tests, exceeding district and state averages, as well as the lowest chronic absenteeism rate and free/reduced lunch recipients. Parkway Elementary also has strong academic performance and a relatively low student-teacher ratio.
The other schools in the district, however, lag behind in academic performance, with several grades performing below the district and state averages on NJSLA tests. There appears to be a correlation between socioeconomic factors, such as free/reduced lunch rates, and student achievement, as the schools with the lowest free/reduced lunch rates tend to have the highest academic performance. Additionally, the consistently high chronic absenteeism rate across all schools is a concern that the district may need to address.
