Summary:
The 08873 zip code area in Franklin Township, New Jersey is home to 5 elementary schools that serve grades PK-5 and are part of the Franklin Township Public School District. While the district as a whole is ranked 432 out of 609 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating, a few schools in the area stand out for their stronger academic performance.
MacAfee Road School and Conerly Road School are the top-performing schools in the area, with 3-star ratings from SchoolDigger and proficiency rates above the district and state averages in many subject areas. In contrast, Hillcrest School lags behind, with lower test scores compared to the other schools. The schools also vary significantly in their percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, from 30.95% at MacAfee Road School to 76.52% at Pine Grove Manor School.
One area of concern across all 5 schools is the consistently high chronic absenteeism rate of 14.9%, which is higher than the state average. This may be a contributing factor to the academic performance disparities observed among the schools. The data suggests that while some schools in the 08873 zip code area are performing well, there is room for improvement to ensure equitable educational opportunities for all students in the Franklin Township Public School District.
