Summary:
The city of Blairstown, New Jersey is home to 3 schools serving students from elementary through high school, including 2 elementary schools and 1 high school. The schools in this area display a range of academic performance, with Ridge and Valley Charter School standing out as the strongest performer, while North Warren Regional School excels in student retention and graduation rates.
The Ridge and Valley Charter School boasts significantly higher test scores in English Language Arts and Mathematics compared to the state and district averages, with proficiency rates reaching as high as 71% in certain grade levels. This suggests the charter school model may be particularly effective in this community. In contrast, the other schools in the area, Blairstown Elementary School and North Warren Regional School, generally perform below the state averages in academic assessments.
While North Warren Regional School stands out for its impressive 95.8% four-year graduation rate and low 0.2% dropout rate, its relatively lower test scores suggest that academic achievement may not be as strong as its high graduation rates would imply. Across the district, the schools serve a predominantly white student population, with relatively low percentages of minority and economically disadvantaged students, which may contribute to their performance. However, the high chronic absenteeism rates, particularly at Ridge and Valley Charter School, present an area for improvement that could potentially lead to better academic outcomes.
