Summary:
The city of Deal, New Jersey has only one public school, Deal Elementary School, which serves grades K-8 with an enrollment of 159 students. As part of the Deal Boro School District, the school has consistently received a 2-star rating out of 5 and ranks between 800-900 out of around 1,340 elementary schools in the state.
Deal Elementary School's academic performance is mixed, with some grade levels and subjects exceeding the state average, such as 6th and 7th grade English Language Arts and 6th grade Mathematics, while others, like 5th and 8th grade Mathematics, perform significantly below the state average. The school's chronic absenteeism rate of 16.6% is also higher than the state average, which could be impacting overall academic outcomes. Despite the school's relatively high spending of $16,125 per student and small student-teacher ratio of 8:1, the inconsistent test scores suggest there may be opportunities to improve the school's educational programs and strategies.
Overall, Deal Elementary School appears to be a well-resourced but underperforming school, with areas of academic strength but also significant room for improvement, particularly in addressing chronic absenteeism and ensuring more consistent and stronger academic performance across all grade levels and subjects.
