Summary:
Elementary schools in ZIP code 08085 include five schools serving early childhood through the elementary grades, with enrollments from 186 to 696 and 1,940 students combined. Only General Charles G. Harker School and Logan Township Elementary School report comparable test results; the other schools serve younger grades, so their results cannot be compared on these tests. The strongest area-wide finding is that the two tested schools’ 2025–2026 averages were above state results in both ELA and math: about 59% versus 49% in ELA, and 59% versus 47% in math.
Harker is the clearest current standout: it led Logan in all seven grade-and-subject comparisons, by 2 to 16 percentage points. Its biggest lead was in grade 4 math, where 61% were proficient at Harker and 45% at Logan; Harker was also above the state in every reported subject and grade. Logan’s results were more mixed: it exceeded the state in all three ELA grades and in grade 3 and grade 5 math, but fell short by 2 points in grade 4 math and by 1 point in grade 5 science. In 2025–2026, SchoolDigger rated Harker four stars and Logan three.
Recent results show that the schools’ relative positions can change: Harker’s three-grade ELA average rose 4 points from 2024–2025, while Logan’s fell 7 points. Logan’s sharpest drops were in grade 4—19 points in ELA and 23 in math—although its grade 5 math score rose 13 points. SchoolDigger’s rankings were steadier for Harker (73rd, 70th, then 73rd percentile across the last three reported years) than for Logan (72nd, 72nd, then 58th). The schools also differ in context: their 2024–2025 free/reduced lunch eligible measures were 22% at Harker and 24% at Logan, and their student-teacher ratios were 10.7 and 13.2, respectively; these figures describe the schools, not reasons for their results.
