The short version on Allenwood’s schools

Strong statewide, typical for its income level

Statewide, Allenwood’s schools beat 77% of districts. Compared with the 134 towns that have similar household incomes, that drops to 30%. Some of the strong showing reflects who lives here, so families moving from a similar town shouldn’t expect a big step up. How it compares ↓

Which school depends on your street

With four elementary schools, the school a child attends depends on your address. Elementary grades range from B− to A−, so it’s worth checking the specific school, not just the town. After that, everyone goes to Wall Intermediate School and Wall High School. Wall sends its kids to all the same schools. See the path ↓

How Allenwood compares

B+ Test scoresA Graduation
New Jersey school districts we grade (645)Better than 77%

High confidence. Built on 1,734 tested students and a graduating class of 252; ordinary year-to-year swings are unlikely to change the grade.
How the School Grade works
  • Results, not inputs. Math and reading proficiency on New Jersey’s state tests against the state average, plus the four-year graduation rate. Spending and class size are shown but don’t count. Tests: 2020–21; graduation: class of 2020.
  • The whole path. A town’s grade follows its kids through every district that serves it, weighted by students tested. Tests count 60%, graduation 40%.
  • Graded within the state. Each state writes its own tests, so districts are compared with the rest of New Jersey only. A+ is the top 5%, A the next 10%, A− the next 10%, the B range the next 30%, the C range the next 30%, D the rest.
  • What a grade can’t tell you. Test results track family income, so we also compare towns with similar incomes. Visit, ask other parents, and read neighbor reviews. It’s our own summary of U.S. Department of Education data, not an official rating.
