Summary:
The 08081 zip code area is home to 6 elementary schools across two school districts - Gloucester Township Public Schools and Winslow Township School District. These schools serve students from pre-kindergarten through 4th grade and provide a range of academic and extracurricular opportunities.
Among the standout schools in the area, Union Valley Elementary School stands out with the highest performance on state assessments, with over 50% of 3rd and 4th graders proficient or better in English Language Arts and Math. In contrast, Winslow Township Elementary School Two has shown significant improvement, moving from a 1-star to a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. The schools in the area have varying rates of free/reduced lunch recipients, from 29.31% at Union Valley to 51.95% at Erial Elementary.
While the data reveals performance gaps between the schools, it also highlights opportunities for improvement. The high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 14.9% across all schools, suggest a need to address attendance and engagement. Additionally, the differences in spending per student, from $9,166 at Winslow Township Elementary School Three to $13,945 at James W. Lilley Elementary, indicate that factors beyond just funding may be contributing to the variations in academic achievement.
