Elementary schools would probably be ranked best to worst:
ET Hamilton
Signal Hill
Kresson
Osage
That said, Osage is still a good school, and the differences between the other three are just pretty much splitting hairs. You can’t go wrong with Voorhees schools. The area that feeds into Osage would be considered lower class than the rest of the town, but that area is still much better than Londenwold, Lawnside, etc. That’s not a fair comparison. Somerdale, maybe. But Lindenwold is a considerably bad and dangerous area that not even Echelon deserves to be compared to.
Gibbsboro and Berlin Borough feed into the Eastern High School, but that schoolbis still about probably 85% Voorhees students. For neighborhoods, it really just all comes down to what you can afford. Developments like Sturbridge, Alluvium, and Beagle Club are all considered safe and desirable...assuming developments are the kind of thing that appeals to you, of course.
