Summary:

The 08837 zip code is home to a single high school, Edison Academy Magnet School, which has consistently demonstrated academic excellence and strong student outcomes. This school, part of the Middlesex County Vocational and Technical School District, has earned top rankings in New Jersey, with a track record of 100% proficiency rates in Algebra II and a high graduation rate of 91.3%.

Edison Academy Magnet School's performance is further bolstered by its low student-teacher ratio of 16.6, higher-than-average spending per student of $11,783, and a relatively affluent student population, as indicated by the low percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at 1.71%. These factors contribute to the school's ability to provide a robust educational experience and effectively prepare students for success.

While the school's overall performance is exceptional, the slightly higher chronic absenteeism rate of 14.9% may be an area for the school to investigate and address. Nonetheless, Edison Academy Magnet School stands out as a premier high school option in the 08837 zip code, offering families a high-quality education and the opportunity for their children to thrive academically.
