Summary:
The 08205 zip code area of Galloway, New Jersey is home to 5 elementary schools serving students from grades K-6. These schools, which include Arthur Rann Elementary School, Smithville Elementary School, Roland Rogers Elementary School, Reeds Road Elementary School, and Atlantic Community Charter School, exhibit a range of academic performance and student demographics.
Smithville Elementary School stands out as the highest-ranked school in the area, ranking 907 out of 1,347 New Jersey elementary schools. It also has the strongest test score performance, with high proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics across multiple grade levels. Reeds Road Elementary School and Roland Rogers Elementary School also demonstrate solid academic performance, with high proficiency rates in certain grade levels and subjects.
However, the data reveals significant performance gaps between the schools and the state averages on standardized tests, with school scores ranging from 4.8% to 28% proficient in 3rd grade English Language Arts, compared to the state average of 44.9%. Additionally, several of the schools, particularly Atlantic Community Charter School, have very high rates of free/reduced lunch recipients, indicating high levels of student poverty, which may contribute to the lower academic performance seen at these schools. The district will need to address these challenges to improve educational outcomes for all students.
