Summary:

The 08872 zip code is home to a single elementary school, Woodrow Wilson Elementary School, which serves grades PK-3 and is part of the Sayreville School District. With a total enrollment of 396 students, the school's performance has fluctuated in recent years, ranking as high as 318 out of 1,342 New Jersey elementary schools in 2022-2023 and as low as 704 out of 1,338 in 2023-2024.

Woodrow Wilson Elementary School's academic performance on the NJSLA tests is mixed, with 3rd-grade students scoring above the state averages in both English Language Arts (49%) and Mathematics (52.9%) in the 2024-2025 school year. However, the school's Mathematics proficiency rate is lower than the Sayreville School District average of 56.4%. Additionally, the school has a relatively high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (45.96%), indicating a higher proportion of students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds.

Despite the school's fluctuating performance, it maintains a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 12.9 for the 2023-2024 school year, which may suggest a focus on small class sizes and individualized attention. The school's per-student spending for the 2018-2019 school year was $7,702, a data point that should be considered in the context of the school's performance and student demographics. Overall, the analysis of Woodrow Wilson Elementary School highlights the need for a deeper understanding of the factors contributing to its performance and the development of targeted strategies to support student success.
