Summary:
The 08318 zip code area is home to three elementary schools: Olivet Elementary School, Elmer Elementary School, and Norma Elementary School. These schools serve students from pre-kindergarten through 4th grade and are part of the Pittsgrove Township School District.
Among the three schools, Olivet Elementary School stands out with the largest student enrollment of 351 and the highest proficiency rates in both English Language Arts and Mathematics, outperforming the district and state averages. Norma Elementary School has the highest per-student spending at $20,895 and the lowest student-teacher ratio of 10, which may contribute to its unique focus on serving only pre-kindergarten students.
While the schools share some similarities, such as the same chronic absenteeism rate of 14.9%, there are notable differences in resource allocation and student demographics. Elmer Elementary School and Norma Elementary School have higher percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch compared to Olivet Elementary School, which may indicate potential equity concerns within the district that warrant further investigation.
