Summary:

Schools in zip code 08096 include 10 schools—seven elementary schools and three high schools—serving students from pre-K through high school, with 5,359 students enrolled. The results show a varied picture: some elementary schools lead their grade-level comparisons, while high-school math results trail the state by more than high-school ELA results do. The most important takeaway is that average results are below the state in every grade-matched elementary comparison, even as results differ considerably from school to school.

Good Intent Elementary stands out across several recent elementary results: it scored 54% in grade 3 ELA, 12 points above the next school, and 66% in grade 5 ELA, 9 points above the next school; its grade 5 science result was 38%, 11 points above the state. At the other end, Evergreen Avenue Elementary had the lowest results in several comparisons, including 15% in grade 3 ELA and 8% in grade 5 science. West End Memorial Elementary led grade 5 math at 52%, while Green-Fields Elementary and Walnut Street School both beat the state in grade 4 math. Among high schools, Gateway Regional High School led in both NJGPA subjects, but remained below the state in ELA and math.

Elementary ELA is moving closer to the state overall: the average gap narrowed from 14 points to 10 points between the two years, while elementary math was nearly flat. High-school math is a concern: the average gap widened from 14 points to 22 points. SchoolDigger’s statewide percentile ranking for West End rose 26 points from 2023–2024 to 2025–2026, while Deptford Township High School fell 16 points. Context offers no simple explanation for results: in 2024–2025, free/reduced lunch eligible shares ranged from 31% at Good Intent to 72% at Woodbury, yet West End had strong grade 5 results with 71% eligible. Good Intent and Lake Tract Elementary had similar student-teacher ratios—11.0 and 11.7—but Good Intent scored higher in all seven listed comparisons. Oakview Elementary has no test scores supplied.
