8. Lenola and Centerton

Lenola is a distinct section of Moorestown near the border with Mount Laurel, and Centerton is a village area close to the historic center. Both offer more varied housing, including smaller single-family homes and more attainable price points than the top of the market. These are practical choices for buyers who want Moorestown schools and proximity to town without paying for the largest estates.

How Are the Schools in Moorestown?

Moorestown Township Public Schools is consistently rated among the best districts in New Jersey and is ranked number one in Burlington County, with an A+ rating on major school-ranking sites. The district serves roughly 3,900 students across six schools. Three K-3 elementary schools, George C. Baker, Mary E. Roberts, and South Valley, feed into Moorestown Upper Elementary for grades 4-6, then William Allen Middle School for grades 7-8, and finally Moorestown High School for grades 9-12.

Because attendance is zone-based, the specific elementary school for a given home depends on the address. When you are looking at a particular property, I can help you confirm which of the three elementaries it feeds into so you know exactly what to expect.
