Best Public Schools in Oxford, NJ


Summary:

The city of Oxford, New Jersey is home to a single elementary school, Oxford Central School, which serves grades PK-8 with a total enrollment of 249 students. The school has a predominantly white student population, with notable Hispanic representation and smaller percentages of other racial/ethnic groups. While the school's English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency rates are generally on par with or slightly above district and state averages, its mathematics and science proficiency rates are more concerning, particularly in the upper grade levels.

Oxford Central School's high chronic absenteeism rate of 25.9% is a significant issue that the school and the Oxford Township School District should address, as it can negatively impact student learning and achievement. The district itself is ranked 400 out of 615 districts in New Jersey and is rated 2 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger, suggesting broader systemic challenges that may be impacting the resources and support available to Oxford Central School.

Despite the school's mixed academic performance and the district's lower ranking, Oxford Central School's relatively low student-to-teacher ratio of 9.2 and above-average per-student spending of $14,106 indicate that the school has access to resources that could be leveraged to improve student outcomes. By addressing the chronic absenteeism issue and focusing on strengthening the mathematics and science curriculum, Oxford Central School has the potential to enhance the educational experience and success of its diverse student population.
