Summary:
The city of Red Bank, New Jersey is home to 5 schools, including 4 elementary schools and 1 middle school. The data reveals a stark contrast in academic performance across these schools, with Fairview Elementary School and River Plaza Elementary School consistently outperforming the district and state averages on standardized tests, while Red Bank Middle School and Red Bank Charter School struggle to meet these benchmarks.
The data suggests a potential correlation between socioeconomic status and academic achievement, with the schools serving higher percentages of free/reduced lunch recipients, such as Red Bank Middle School and Red Bank Primary School, tending to have lower test scores and higher chronic absenteeism rates. Additionally, the presence of a charter school option, Red Bank Charter School, provides an alternative for families, though its performance is mixed compared to the state.
Overall, the analysis of the Red Bank school data highlights the importance of understanding the underlying factors that contribute to a school's performance, such as student demographics, resource allocation, and district-level support. By addressing these disparities, the Red Bank Borough Public School District and the broader Middletown Township Public School District can work to enhance educational opportunities and equity for all students in the area.
