Summary:
The city of Newfield, New Jersey has only one school in the data set - Main Road School, an elementary school serving grades 3-4 with a total enrollment of 392 students. As the sole school in the area, Main Road School's performance and characteristics provide a comprehensive view of the educational landscape in Newfield.
Academically, Main Road School lags behind state averages in both English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency, with only 21.1% and 39.1% of 3rd-grade students, and 42.8% and 43.1% of 4th-grade students, meeting or exceeding proficiency standards, respectively. The school's consistent ranking in the bottom half of New Jersey elementary schools and its 2-star rating further indicate room for improvement in student learning outcomes. Additionally, the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 10.1% is worth monitoring, as high rates can negatively impact academic achievement.
Socioeconomic factors may also play a role, as 22.96% of Main Road School's students are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting the school serves a population with lower socioeconomic status. Despite these challenges, the school maintains a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 10.5 to 1, which could be leveraged to provide more personalized attention and support for students. Overall, the data suggests that Township of Franklin School District and the community of Newfield may need to focus on targeted interventions and support to improve the academic performance and overall quality of Main Road School.
