Summary:
ZIP code 08098 has one middle school, Woodstown Middle School, serving grades 5–8 and enrolling 303 students. Its overall 2025–26 results were above New Jersey’s in ELA and math: the school’s across-grade averages were 64% versus 53% in ELA and 45% versus 37% in math. The most important finding for families is that those averages mask a weaker sixth-grade profile: Woodstown was below the state in both sixth-grade ELA and math.
Because it is the only school listed, Woodstown is both the top and bottom school in this ZIP code, rather than a meaningful leader or trailer among local schools. Against state results, it exceeded the state in 8 of 10 ELA and math grade comparisons and one of two science comparisons. Algebra I was the standout: proficiency was 100% in both reported entries, compared with 40% statewide for End of Course and 75% for grade 8. The clearest weak spots were sixth-grade math, at 35% versus 40% statewide, and eighth-grade science, at 13% versus 19%.
Woodstown’s relative lead narrowed over time in grades 6–8: its ELA advantage over the state went from 14 percentage points in 2024–25 to 8 in 2025–26, while its math advantage went from 10 points to 6. Results varied by grade: eighth-grade math rose 2 points year over year, but eighth-grade science fell 9 points. SchoolDigger’s ranking also moved down, from the 75th percentile in 2024–25 to the 64th percentile in 2025–26. As context, the school reported a student–teacher ratio of 12.4 and 28% free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–25; chronic absenteeism was 13%, compared with 14% in the district and statewide. These figures offer context, not a basis for comparing schools in the ZIP code.
