Summary:
The city of Columbus, New Jersey is home to 4 schools serving grades PK-12, including Northern Burlington County Regional High School, Northern Burlington County Regional Middle School, Mansfield Township Elementary School, and John Hydock Elementary School. The data reveals that Mansfield Township Elementary School stands out as a high-performing school, consistently ranking among the top elementary schools in New Jersey and demonstrating exceptional academic achievement on state assessments.
In contrast, the Northern Burlington County Regional School District, which includes the high school and middle school, appears to be a relatively average-performing district, with its schools ranked in the middle of the pack statewide. The data also shows notable differences in the free/reduced lunch rates between the Mansfield Township Elementary School and John Hydock Elementary School compared to the Northern Burlington County Regional High School and Middle School, suggesting potential socioeconomic disparities within the broader region.
Across all the schools, the chronic absenteeism rate is consistently high, ranging from 16.6% to 16.6%, which could be an area of concern that warrants further investigation. Additionally, the spending per student and student-teacher ratios vary significantly, with the elementary schools generally having lower spending per student and smaller class sizes compared to the high school and middle school.
