Summary:
The city of Montague, New Jersey has only one school, the Montague Township School, which serves grades PK-8 and has a total enrollment of 310 students. The school is part of the Montague Township School District, which is ranked 245 out of 613 districts in New Jersey and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Montague Township School generally performs above the state average in English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency, with 6th and 7th-grade students scoring particularly well. However, the school's performance is more mixed in Mathematics, with 3rd and 4th-grade students scoring above the state average, but 6th-8th-grade students scoring below. Science proficiency is also below the state average for both 5th and 8th-grade students. The school's high chronic absenteeism rate of 16.6% is a concern and likely contributes to the lower performance in the lower grades.
Over 32% of students at Montague Township School are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a significant population of economically disadvantaged students. The school's relatively high per-student spending and low student-teacher ratio suggest that it has access to adequate resources and staffing, but the academic performance data indicates that the school may need to re-evaluate how these resources are being utilized to better support student learning, particularly in the lower grades and in Mathematics.
