Summary:

Zip code 08088 has eight schools spanning elementary, middle and high school grades, with results that vary considerably by school and grade. The clearest strength is in upper-middle-grade math, while some elementary results fall below state levels. The most important takeaway is that performance is not consistent across the area: the school and grade make a substantial difference.

Indian Mills Memorial School stands out in grades 7–8: it scored 76% in grade 7 math, 73% in grade 7 ELA and 75% in grade 8 ELA, leading the listed schools in those comparisons. Southampton Township School #3 led grade 8 math with 67%, compared with 46% at Indian Mills Memorial, 29% at Kenneth R. Olson Middle School and 23% statewide. At the lower end, Tabernacle Elementary School scored 39% in grade 3 ELA and 36% in math, 9 and 14 percentage points below state results. Grade 4 math was also a weak spot at Southampton Township School #2: its 33% was 14 points below the state’s 47%.

Recent changes are mixed rather than a clear area-wide improvement: from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, the average school-to-state gap narrowed by about 1 percentage point in both ELA and math. Individual results differed; Southampton Township School #3 grade 8 math rose 10 points, while Indian Mills Memorial School grade 6 ELA fell 33 points. SchoolDigger’s statewide ranking percentile rose from 64 to 80 for Southampton Township School #3 between 2023–2024 and 2025–2026, while Tabernacle Elementary School fell from 55 to 30. Other context does not point to one simple pattern: in school year 2024–2025, free/reduced lunch eligible shares were 24% at Southampton #3 and 12% at Indian Mills Memorial; Southampton #2 had the area’s highest share, 30%, and a student-teacher ratio of 8.8, yet its grade 5 results were above state levels while its grade 4 math was below.
