Summary:
The city of Delair, New Jersey has just one public elementary school, Delair Elementary School, which serves grades K-3 with an enrollment of 285 students. The school is part of the Pennsauken Township Board of Education School District, which is ranked 490 out of 613 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating.
Delair Elementary School has consistently ranked in the bottom 20% of New Jersey elementary schools over the past 3 school years, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's 3rd-grade proficiency rates in both English Language Arts and Mathematics are substantially lower than the district and state averages, indicating that students are falling behind their peers across the state. Additionally, the school has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 16.6%, which is significantly higher than the state average.
With nearly half of the student population eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, Delair Elementary School serves a community with a high level of economic disadvantage, which may contribute to the school's academic challenges. The school's relatively low per-student spending of $8,537, combined with its low performance, suggests that the district may need to re-evaluate its resource allocation and funding priorities to better support Delair Elementary School and its students.
