Summary:
The city of Englewood, New Jersey is home to 6 schools, including 4 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. The schools in this district face significant challenges, with consistently low academic performance compared to state averages, particularly in mathematics proficiency.
One standout school is Englewood on the Palisades Charter School, which outperforms the other schools in the district on measures like proficiency rates and school ratings. In contrast, Janis E. Dismus Middle School struggles with low math proficiency, despite strong performance in Algebra I. The high school, Dwight Morrow High School/Academies@Englewood, has the highest graduation rate and lowest dropout rate in the district, but still lags behind state averages in key subjects.
The data suggests that the schools in the Englewood Public School District face significant equity challenges, with high rates of economically disadvantaged students. This likely contributes to the overall academic performance issues, as well as high chronic absenteeism rates across the district. While the Englewood on the Palisades Charter School provides a bright spot, the data indicates that the Englewood school system as a whole has room for improvement to better serve its students.
