About Mary E. Roberts Elementary School
Mary E. Roberts Elementary School serves 347 students in pre-kindergarten through third grade in Moorestown, New Jersey. A regular public school, it earns a composite score of 9.3/10 — rated Exceptional — built on a 9.2 academic score and a standout 9.6 growth score.
That growth figure matters: it means students here advance faster than expected year over year, not just arrive at a high baseline. The rankings back this up. Roberts sits at #22 out of 1,496 elementary schools in New Jersey and holds the top spot among all six public schools in Moorestown.
A student-teacher ratio of 12.4:1 keeps classes small, giving teachers room to work with individual students rather than driving instruction at the pace of the middle of the room. Families comparing elementary options in the area will find few stronger performers anywhere in the state. Roberts outperforms 98% of New Jersey public schools — a benchmark that holds at the state level, not just locally.
For parents placing children in the critical pre-K through third-grade years, those numbers carry real weight.
