Summary:
The Southampton Township School District in New Jersey operates three schools: two elementary schools (grades PK-2 and 3-5) and one middle school (grades 6-8). The district serves a predominantly white student population, with relatively low rates of economic disadvantage. While the schools generally perform well, with the middle school standing out for its exceptional Algebra I and science proficiency, there are opportunities for improvement in English Language Arts and mathematics, particularly at the elementary level.
The middle school is a standout, outperforming the district and state averages in several key test score metrics, including 100% proficiency in Algebra I for 8th graders (compared to 66% statewide). It also has a relatively low chronic absenteeism rate of 7.5% and ranks in the top 41.4% of middle schools in New Jersey. The elementary school #2 also demonstrates strengths, achieving higher proficiency rates than the district and state averages in English Language Arts for grades 4 and 5, as well as outperforming the district and state in 5th-grade science proficiency.
Overall, the Southampton Township School District is ranked 335th out of 615 districts in New Jersey and rated 2 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger. This suggests that the district-level factors, such as funding, policies, and leadership, may be contributing to the relatively consistent performance across the schools. While the district has some strong-performing schools, there are opportunities to address areas for improvement, such as the elementary schools' performance in English Language Arts and mathematics, as well as the higher chronic absenteeism rate at the middle school.
