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 Voorhees Middle School and Eastern Camden County Regional High School. Voorhees sends its kids to all the same schools. From grade 9, they’re joined by students from Gibbsboro. See the path ↓

How Echelon compares
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.
