Summary:
The city of Laurence Harbor, New Jersey is home to a single elementary school, Memorial Elementary School, which serves students from kindergarten to 5th grade. The school is part of the Old Bridge Township School District and has a diverse student population with a mix of racial and ethnic backgrounds.
Memorial Elementary School generally performs better than the state average in both English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics proficiency, but lags behind the district average in some grade levels. The school's science proficiency rate of 23.5% is lower than both the district and state averages, indicating a potential area for improvement. Additionally, the school has a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate of 15.0%, which could be impacting academic performance and should be addressed.
Despite these challenges, Memorial Elementary School has adequate funding, with a spending per student of $13,387, and a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 11.5, which is the 4th best among the 11 elementary schools in the Old Bridge Township School District. The school's diverse student population and generally strong academic performance in some areas are positive aspects that can be built upon to support student learning and achievement.
