Summary:

The city of Roebling, New Jersey is home to two elementary schools: Roebling Elementary School and Riverbank Charter School of Excellence. While both serve students in grades K-5, the data analysis reveals significant differences in their academic performance and overall quality.

Riverbank Charter School of Excellence stands out as a high-performing institution, ranking in the top 10% of New Jersey elementary schools and earning a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Riverbank Charter School of Excellence also maintains a much lower chronic absenteeism rate of 2.6%, compared to 14.6% at Roebling Elementary School.

The performance gap between the two schools may be attributed to factors such as higher per-student spending, more effective teaching methods, and a more engaged student body at Riverbank Charter School of Excellence. Additionally, the schools serve different student populations, with Roebling Elementary School having a more diverse and economically disadvantaged student body, which may present additional challenges. Overall, the data analysis highlights the need for the Florence Township School District and the Riverbank Charter School of Excellence to closely examine the factors contributing to the significant differences in school quality and student outcomes.
