Summary:
There is only one elementary school located in zip code 08072 - Quinton Township School, which serves grades PK-8 and has a total enrollment of 281 students. The school is part of the Quinton Township School District, which is ranked 442 out of 609 districts in New Jersey and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Quinton Township School's statewide ranking has declined over the past few years, going from 824 out of 1,338 elementary schools in 2023-2024 to 971 out of 1,347 in 2024-2025, with a 1-star rating. The school has high chronic absenteeism rates, with 14.9% of students chronically absent in the 2023-2024 school year. Student performance on standardized tests is generally below state averages across all grade levels and subject areas, with only 20% of 3rd graders proficient or better in ELA in 2024-2025, compared to the state average of 44.9%.
Despite the higher-than-average spending per student ($11,907) and lower student-teacher ratio (9.2), the school's academic outcomes remain poor. This suggests that the resources may not be effectively allocated to support student learning. Additionally, the high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (42.35%) indicates that the school may be serving a population with significant socioeconomic challenges, which could be impacting academic performance. Addressing the root causes of chronic absenteeism and improving resource allocation could be important areas of focus for the school.
