Summary:
The Buena Regional School District in New Jersey consists of 3 schools: 1 high school, 1 middle school, and 1 elementary school. The district serves a diverse student population with significant socioeconomic challenges, as evidenced by the high rates of free and reduced-price lunch eligibility across all schools.
Academically, the schools in the district struggle, with consistently low proficiency rates on standardized assessments, particularly at Buena Regional High School and Buena Regional Middle School. The district-wide proficiency rates are significantly lower than the state averages, indicating a need for improvement in academic outcomes. Additionally, the high school has a relatively low four-year graduation rate of 85.2% and a 2.7% dropout rate.
Among the standout schools, John C. Milanesi Elementary School stands out with the lowest student-teacher ratio and a higher percentage of Asian students compared to the other schools in the Buena Regional School District. However, the school still faces challenges, with a chronic absenteeism rate higher than the high school but lower than the middle school.
