Summary:
The 08820 zip code area in Edison, New Jersey is home to 6 elementary schools that are part of the Edison Township School District, which is ranked 198 out of 609 school districts in the state. These schools serve grades ranging from pre-K to 5th grade, with a total student population of 3,606.
Among the standout schools in this area are Woodbrook Elementary School, which consistently ranks among the top 120-150 elementary schools in New Jersey and has a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger. Martin Luther King Elementary School and James Madison Intermediate School also perform exceptionally well, ranking within the top 79-125 and 54-98 elementary schools in the state, respectively, and earning 5-star ratings.
While the top-performing schools excel academically, the data also reveals some areas for improvement across the district, such as the high chronic absenteeism rate of 14.9% and the varying levels of economic disadvantage, as indicated by the free/reduced lunch rates ranging from 10.97% to 25.39%. Additionally, the significantly higher spending per student at Franklin D. Roosevelt School does not seem to translate into better academic outcomes, suggesting that simply spending more money may not be the sole driver of student success.
