Summary:

ZIP code 08619 has five schools: four elementary schools serving prekindergarten or kindergarten through grade 5, and one high school serving grades 9–12. In 2025–2026, the elementary schools averaged 52% in English Language Arts (ELA), above the state’s 49%, but averaged 44% in mathematics and 20% in fifth-grade science, below the state’s 47% and 27%. Hamilton North - Nottingham was below state results in every reported test. The biggest takeaway is that elementary results vary substantially by school: the range between schools’ grade 3–5 averages was 25 points in ELA and 25 points in mathematics.

Morgan Elementary School led in average ELA at 64% and ranked second in mathematics at 54%; University Heights Elementary School averaged 58% in ELA and led mathematics at 53%. University Heights also had the top fifth-grade science result, 30%, compared with 27% statewide. At the other end, Klockner Elementary School averaged 39% in ELA and 29% in mathematics, and had 8% proficiency in fifth-grade science. Mercerville Elementary School fell between the leaders and Klockner, averaging 48% in ELA and 38% in mathematics. SchoolDigger’s statewide rankings place Morgan at the 63rd percentile, University Heights at the 61st, Mercerville at the 41st and Klockner at the 28th.

Recent changes are mixed: University Heights’ averages rose 11 points in ELA and 7 in mathematics from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, while Klockner’s mathematics average fell 8 points. Fifth-grade science rose 18 points at University Heights but fell 9 points at Klockner. Context also differs: in 2024–2025, free/reduced lunch eligible figures were 32% at Morgan and 34% at University Heights, compared with 71% at Klockner; student–teacher ratios were 9.6, 9.7 and 14.0, respectively. Chronic absenteeism was 9% at University Heights and 23% at Klockner, versus 14% statewide. These figures offer different points of comparison, while the strongest results depend on the school, grade and subject.
