Torey J. Sabatini School

Torey J. Sabatini School earns a composite score of 9.0 out of 10 — an Exceptional rating — making it the top-ranked of Madison's five public elementary schools and one of the strongest such programs in the state. Serving 303 students in kindergarten through fifth grade, Sabatini is a regular public school that consistently produces results well beyond what enrollment size would predict.

Academic performance anchors that rating. The school posts a 9.7 out of 10 on academics and a 9.5 out of 10 on growth, meaning students don't just arrive ahead — they continue advancing at an accelerated pace year over year. Sabatini outperforms 98% of New Jersey public schools, placing 40th among 1,496 elementary schools statewide.

That puts it in the top 3% of its direct peer group across the entire state. Class structure reinforces those outcomes. A 10.8-to-1 student-teacher ratio gives each student substantially more instructional attention than the typical public school classroom delivers.

For families comparing Madison's elementary options, Sabatini's performance data is decisive — it sets the standard in the local market and holds up against the best schools anywhere in New Jersey.
