Summary:
ZIP code 08723 has three K–5 elementary schools: Emma Havens Young Elementary School, Drum Point Road Elementary School, and Osbornville Elementary School. In 2025–2026, their average across reported grade-and-subject results was 43%, compared with 45% for the matching state results. Performance differed by subject: the area’s ELA average was 1 point below the state, while its math average was 4 points below and science was 2 points below. Most importantly, mathematics is the area’s largest shortfall against the state.
Drum Point Road leads in ELA and science, averaging 56% and 32%, respectively; those results are 16 points higher in ELA and 10 points higher in science than Young, which has the lowest average in each subject. Osbornville leads in math, averaging 50%, compared with 46% at Drum Point Road and 35% at Young. Osbornville’s grade 5 math result of 58% is the highest math score among the schools; Young’s 35% is the lowest, a 23-point spread. Young has the lowest school average in all three subjects, while Drum Point Road and Osbornville each have a clear subject-area strength.
Recent results and other measures add context rather than a simple school-choice formula. From 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, the area’s ELA average rose by 1 point, while math fell by 2 points and science by 4; the overall area-to-state gap remained about 2 points. SchoolDigger’s 2025–2026 statewide percentiles were 55 for Drum Point Road, 49 for Osbornville, and 33 for Young; Drum’s ranking rose from 45 two years earlier, while the other schools’ recent movement was mixed. For 2024–2025, free/reduced lunch eligible shares were 31% at Drum Point Road, 49% at Osbornville, and 52% at Young; student-teacher ratios were 13.2, 10.3, and 11.6, respectively. These measures do not align consistently with results: for example, Osbornville’s math average exceeds Drum’s despite its higher reported eligible share, so they are context, not explanations of performance.
