Summary:

Chesterfield, New Jersey is home to a single public elementary school, the Chesterfield Township Elementary School, which serves grades PK-6 with an enrollment of 715 students. The school is part of the Chesterfield Township School District, which is ranked 285 out of 613 districts in New Jersey and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

The Chesterfield Township Elementary School has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past three years, dropping from 294 out of 1,345 New Jersey elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 555 out of 1,338 in 2023-2024. Its SchoolDigger rating has also decreased from 4 stars to 3 stars during this period. The school's performance on the NJSLA assessments is mixed, with some grade levels and subject areas performing better than others. However, the school has a relatively low chronic absenteeism rate of 16.6% and a low student-teacher ratio of 10.8, suggesting a focus on personalized attention and support for students.

Despite the school's declining statewide ranking and mixed academic performance, it has a low percentage of free/reduced lunch recipients at 2.52%, indicating that the student population may come from relatively affluent families. This could impact the school's resource allocation and support systems. Overall, the Chesterfield Township Elementary School appears to be facing some challenges, and further investigation may be needed to understand the underlying factors contributing to its performance and identify areas for improvement.
