Summary:
The city of Gibbstown, New Jersey is home to two schools - Broad Street Elementary School and Nehaunsey Middle School, both part of the Greenwich Township School District. While both schools face challenges with higher-than-average chronic absenteeism rates, the data suggests that Nehaunsey Middle School is the stronger performing school overall.
Nehaunsey Middle School outperforms the district and state averages on many of the NJSLA test score metrics, earning a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger compared to Broad Street Elementary's 2-star rating. In contrast, Broad Street Elementary School struggles with mathematics proficiency, with 3rd, 4th, and 5th-grade scores well below the state averages. The higher spending per student at Nehaunsey Middle School may be a contributing factor to its stronger academic performance.
Overall, the data indicates that while both schools in Gibbstown face some challenges, Nehaunsey Middle School is the standout performer. The district should investigate the root causes of the performance differences between the two schools and implement targeted strategies to support the weaker-performing Broad Street Elementary School, particularly in the area of mathematics instruction and attendance.
