Summary:
Zip code 08241 has one listed K–8 school, Port Republic Elementary School District, with 110 students, so families have one local school rather than a choice among several. In 2025–26, its average results across grades 3–7 were 63% in ELA, 13 points above New Jersey, and 52% in math, 8 points above the state. Across grades 5 and 8, its science average was 21%, 2 points below the state. The clearest overall finding is that ELA is the school’s strongest subject relative to state results, while science is mixed and math results vary by grade.
Because this is the only school listed, the standouts are grades and subjects, not schools competing for top or bottom spots. Grade 7 was especially strong: 82% in ELA and 65% in math, each about 27 points above the state. The sharpest weak spots were grade 8 science, at 0% versus 19% statewide, and grade 6 math, at 31% versus 40% statewide. Results also differed across grades in science: grade 5 reached 42%, 14 points above the state. These contrasts mean that a single school-wide summary would miss substantial differences in students’ grade-level results.
Over time, the school’s relative ELA position improved while its math advantage narrowed: its ELA lead over the state for grades 3–7 grew from 10 points in 2024–25 to 13 points in 2025–26, while its math lead shrank from 11 to 8 points. SchoolDigger’s ranking history moved from the 71st percentile and 4 stars in 2023–24 to the 61st percentile and 3 stars in 2025–26, after a 63rd-percentile, 3-star result in 2024–25. Context measures for 2024–25 include a student-teacher ratio of 9, 3% free/reduced lunch eligible, and chronic absenteeism of 9%, 6 points below the state. These are useful context, not evidence of what drives achievement.
