Best Public Schools in Landing, NJ

Summary:

The city of Landing, New Jersey has only one school, Nixon Elementary School, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 4th grade and is part of the Roxbury Township School District. Nixon Elementary School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of New Jersey elementary schools over the past three years, indicating a need for improvement in academic performance.

The school's performance on the NJSLA (New Jersey Student Learning Assessment) tests is mixed, with some grade levels performing below the district and state averages, while others are closer to the benchmarks. Additionally, the school has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at 31.91%, suggesting the need to consider the impact of socioeconomic factors on student learning and provide appropriate support and resources.

Nixon Elementary School's operational metrics, such as a low student-teacher ratio of 9.9 and high per-student spending of $13,933, suggest opportunities for more effective resource allocation and utilization to support student success. However, the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 16.6% is a significant concern and may be a contributing factor to the school's overall academic performance, indicating the need to address attendance issues as a priority.
