Summary:

The 08889 zip code area is home to 3 schools - 2 elementary schools (Whitehouse School and Holland Brook School) and 1 middle school (Readington Middle School) - all part of the Readington Township School District. While the elementary schools perform above state averages, the standout school in the area is Readington Middle School, which consistently ranks in the top 25% of New Jersey middle schools.

Readington Middle School boasts a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger and its students significantly outperform state averages on NJSLA assessments across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2024-2025, 72.6% of 7th graders were proficient or better in ELA compared to 57% statewide. The school also maintains low chronic absenteeism at 14.9% and spends $12,092 per student, higher than the state average.

In contrast, the two elementary schools in the area do not stand out as strongly. Whitehouse School has seen a decline in its ranking over the past 3 years, currently ranking 796 out of 1,347 elementary schools, and its test scores, while still above state averages, are not as high as Readington Middle School. Holland Brook School has less available data, but its test scores appear to be more in line with state averages. The consistent 14.9% chronic absenteeism rate across all 3 schools is also worth noting as a potential area for improvement.
