Summary:

Schools in zip code 08210 include nine elementary, middle, and high schools. Across the three schools with matched grade 3–8 results, proficiency was below the state on average: 12 points below in ELA and 16 points below in math. High-school results also show a math challenge: the two high schools averaged 44% on grade 11 NJGPA mathematics, compared with 61% statewide. Mathematics is the clearest shared academic concern in the available results.

Some grade-specific results stand out. Middle Township Elementary #4 reached 100% in grade 8 Algebra I, 26 points above the state; Dennis Township Elementary/Middle Schools recorded 13%, 62 points below. Dennis Township had the strongest grade 7 ELA result, at 61%, 5 points above the state, while Middle Township Elementary #4 was 35%, 21 points below. Among the high schools, Middle Township High School led Cape May County Technical High School in most shared tests, including grade 9 ELA (44% versus 36%), though both were below state. Technical had the higher graduation rate: 95% versus 92% at Middle Township High, and both exceeded the 89% state rate.

Recent grade 3–8 results shifted slightly farther from the state on average, by about 1 point, but individual changes varied: Middle Township Elementary #2’s grade 5 ELA gap improved by 17 points, while Dennis Township’s grade 6 math gap worsened by 28 points. SchoolDigger’s 2025–2026 rankings placed Middle Township High at the 37th percentile, Middle Township Elementary #4 at the 35th, Dennis Township at the 32nd, Middle Township Elementary #2 at the 25th, and Cape May County Technical at the 21st. In 2024–2025, free/reduced lunch eligible figures were 48% at Middle Township High and 41% at Technical; these are context, not explanations for results. Test results are available for five schools; Cape May County High School’s figures are suppressed, and three other schools have no test-score entries.
