Summary:
The 08059 zip code in New Jersey is home to a single elementary school, Mary Bray Elementary School, which serves students from kindergarten through 5th grade. The school is part of the Mt. Ephraim School District.
Mary Bray Elementary School has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past few years, dropping from 540 out of 1,347 New Jersey elementary schools in 2024-2025 to 713 out of 1,338 in 2023-2024 and 803 out of 1,342 in 2022-2023. The school's performance on NJSLA tests is mixed, with 3rd grade students performing significantly better than the state average in both English Language Arts and Mathematics, but other grade levels and subjects more in line with or below the state average. The school's 5th grade students, however, performed better than the state average in NJSLA-S (Science) in 2024-2025.
Mary Bray Elementary School has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, at 38.62% in 2023-2024, and a student-teacher ratio of 10.9 to 1, which is lower than the state average. The school's per-student spending for the 2018-2019 school year was $11,701, which is above the state average, suggesting the district is allocating resources effectively to support student learning. However, the school's declining statewide ranking and uneven academic performance indicate potential areas for improvement that the school and district may need to address.
