Summary:

The 08056 zip code in New Jersey is home to two elementary schools, Samuel Mickle School and Jeffrey Clark School, both serving students from kindergarten through 6th grade. Based on the available data, Samuel Mickle School appears to be the standout performer, consistently ranking higher than the state average on standardized tests and maintaining a favorable student-teacher ratio.

Samuel Mickle School boasts impressive academic achievements, with 73.1% of 6th graders proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to the state average of 56.1%. The school's chronic absenteeism rate of 14.9% is on par with the state average, indicating strong student engagement.
