Summary:

The city of Absecon, New Jersey is home to two schools - H Ashton Marsh Elementary School and Emma C Attales Middle School. These schools serve students from pre-kindergarten through 8th grade and are part of the Absecon Public Schools District.

Emma C Attales Middle School stands out for its exceptional performance on Algebra I assessments, with 100% proficiency, significantly outperforming the state average. The school also ranks higher than the state average on NJSLA English Language Arts assessments for grades 5-8. However, it faces challenges in overall math proficiency, particularly in 8th grade. In contrast, H Ashton Marsh Elementary School has a lower chronic absenteeism rate of 16.6% compared to the state average, but lags behind the state and district in both English Language Arts and Mathematics assessments.

Both schools have a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, around 49%, and the Absecon Public Schools District as a whole is ranked 409 out of 613 districts in New Jersey and is rated 2 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger. The higher per-student spending at H Ashton Marsh ($9,221) compared to Emma C Attales ($8,518) does not seem to translate to significantly better academic outcomes, suggesting the need to examine how resources are being utilized and allocated across the district.
