Summary:
The city of Jackson, New Jersey is home to 11 schools, including 6 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, 2 high schools, and 1 alternative school. The data reveals a mix of performance across the schools, with some standout performers and others struggling to meet state averages.
Jackson Memorial High School and Jackson Liberty High School both have strong 91.1% four-year graduation rates and low 1.2% dropout rates. However, the district and schools generally perform below the state averages in proficiency rates for NJSLA English Language Arts and Mathematics assessments, with some exceptions. Carl W. Goetz Middle School and Elms Elementary School stand out with higher proficiency rates than the district and state.
Funding and student-teacher ratios vary across the schools, but the data does not show a clear correlation between these factors and academic outcomes. Schools with higher free and reduced lunch rates, such as Sylvia Rosenauer Elementary School and Lucy N. Holman Elementary School, tend to have lower test scores and performance, suggesting the need to address issues of equity and provide additional support and resources to these economically disadvantaged schools. Overall, the data highlights the need for targeted interventions, equitable resource allocation, and a focus on addressing chronic absenteeism to support student success across the Jackson Township School District.
