Best Public Schools in Delair, NJ

Summary:

The city of Delair, New Jersey has only one public elementary school, Delair Elementary School, which serves grades K-3 and is part of the Pennsauken Township Board of Education School District. The school has a total enrollment of 285 students, with a predominantly Hispanic (57.89%) and African American (24.91%) student population. However, Delair Elementary School is facing several challenges, including low academic performance, high chronic absenteeism, and serving a predominantly low-income student population.

Delair Elementary School's academic performance is a significant concern, with only 18.2% of 3rd-grade students proficient or better in English Language Arts and 34.2% proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to district and state averages. The school's ranking has also been declining over the past three years, from 1046 in 2021-2022 to 1147 in 2020-2021, and it currently ranks 1063 out of 1342 New Jersey elementary schools. Additionally, the school has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 21.8%, which is much higher than the state average and may be contributing to the low academic performance.

Despite these challenges, Delair Elementary School has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 10.3, which could be a positive factor in providing more individualized attention to students. However, the school's spending per student of $8,537 is below the state average, which may limit the resources available to address the school's academic and attendance issues. Overall, Delair Elementary School faces significant hurdles in improving student outcomes and will need to implement targeted interventions and strategies to address the underlying causes of its low performance.
