By "important schools" I meant those with more than a few dozen students - even without those schools we'd probably catch bad data. And in fact, it turns out that that data in its current form isn't reliable: some pretty large schools were indeed missing from the NCES data. When I reported a duplicate entry for Lakewood Cheder School to the agency, they told me that it was likely that there would be missing schools.
Someone pointed me to https://www.niche.com/k12/search/ which has NCES data but has added many more schools - possibly all of them. I contacted Niche to see if I could purchase their complete dataset of Jewish schools, but they never got back to me. I tried scraping the data off the site, but that was taking me far too long.
For a list of Lakewood elementary schools see here https://issues.thevoiceoflakewood.com/3dissue/092823/index.html pg. 188 and 192.
What did you mean by "the important schools"? How can you know the real number if you leave out some schools?
That's a useful list. Thanks.

So for now, the most reliable demographic data we've got is from NJSHAD (as I noted in my https://darchecha.substack.com/p/connecting-jewish-life-and-shidduchim follow-up article). That shows pretty conclusively that there's no shidduch gap in 08701 at least.
You can also try contacting the LSTA of Lakewood.
