Summary:
The city of Ship Bottom, New Jersey is home to a single elementary school, the Long Beach Island Grade School, which serves grades 3-6 with a total enrollment of 98 students. This small school has a predominantly white student population and faces some academic performance challenges, particularly in English Language Arts for the upper grades, where proficiency lags behind district and state averages.
Despite its small size, the Long Beach Island Grade School benefits from a low student-teacher ratio of 5.5 to 1 and relatively high per-student spending of $22,591. However, the school also grapples with a chronic absenteeism rate of 16%, which is an area of concern. Academically, the school's proficiency rates in mathematics and science vary across grade levels, with the highest performance in 4th-grade math and 5th-grade science.
Overall, the Long Beach Island Grade School provides a well-resourced educational environment for its students, but faces some challenges in academic achievement and student attendance. As the sole school serving the Ship Bottom community, it is important for the Long Beach Island Consolidated School District to closely monitor the school's performance and implement strategies to address the identified areas of concern.
