Summary:
The city of Carneys Point, New Jersey is home to 3 schools - 2 elementary schools (Field Street School and Lafayette-Pershing) and 1 high school (Penns Grove High School) - all of which are part of the Penns Grove-Carneys Point Regional School District. Unfortunately, the data shows that these schools are consistently underperforming compared to state averages, with low proficiency rates in core subjects and high rates of chronic absenteeism.
None of the schools in Carneys Point appear to be standouts, with all three ranked in the bottom 25% of their respective grade levels in New Jersey. Penns Grove High School is in the bottom 10% of high schools statewide, while the two elementary schools, Field Street School and Lafayette-Pershing, are also struggling, with very low proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math.
The data suggests that the schools in Carneys Point face significant challenges, including high poverty levels, with 60-75% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, and potential resource constraints, as indicated by the relatively low spending per student. Despite small class sizes, the schools have been unable to improve their performance over time, pointing to the need for substantial interventions and support to help these schools provide a quality education for their students.
