Summary:

Zip code 08344 has one listed school, Main Road School, an elementary school serving grades 3–4 with 345 students. Its latest results are mixed by subject: the average across the two grades was 49% proficient in ELA, 2 percentage points above New Jersey’s 47%, while math averaged 46%, 2 points below the state’s 48%. The clearest overall takeaway is that ELA is currently a relative strength, while math is not.

Main Road School’s strongest current result is grade 3 ELA: 52% proficient, about 4 points above the state’s 48%. Its weakest result relative to the state is grade 3 math, at 43% versus 49%, a 6-point gap, although it is close to the district result. Grade 4 provides an important counterpoint: ELA was 47%, slightly above the state’s 46%, and math was 49%, about 2 points above the state’s 47%. So the school’s overall math average masks sharply different grade-level results: grade 3 is below the state, while grade 4 is above it. There is only one school in this ZIP-code list, so families cannot compare it with other local schools here.

Recent changes favor ELA but not math. ELA’s two-grade average rose from 45% in 2024–2025 to 49% in 2025–2026, moving from 4 points below the state to 2 points above it; math edged down from 47% to 46% and remained below the state. Grade 3 math fell 7 points year over year, while grade 4 math rose 6 points. Separately, SchoolDigger’s ranking improved from the 36th percentile in 2023–2024 to the 50th percentile in 2025–2026, with two stars in each year. The 2024–2025 student–teacher ratio was 11, and 32% of students were eligible for free or reduced-price lunch in 2024–2025; these are context measures, not explanations for the results.
