Summary:
The city of Tabernacle, New Jersey is home to three schools: Seneca High School, Tabernacle Elementary School, and Kenneth R. Olson Middle School. These schools serve students from the Lenape Regional High School District and the Tabernacle Township School District.
Among the standout schools, Seneca High School has the largest student population and a relatively high 4-year graduation rate, but its test scores are generally lower than the district and state averages. Tabernacle Elementary School excels in math, with strong proficiency rates, but lags in English Language Arts (ELA). Kenneth R. Olson Middle School stands out for its high Algebra I and 8th-grade math proficiency, but its ELA scores are below state averages.
The data reveals stark differences in the schools' performance between math and ELA subjects, suggesting a need to focus on improving ELA instruction and curriculum. Additionally, the variations in free/reduced lunch rates and per-student spending across the schools may indicate potential equity concerns that the district should address. Addressing the high chronic absenteeism rates across all three schools should also be a priority, as it may be impacting student learning and achievement. By fostering collaboration and sharing best practices, the district can work towards providing a high-quality education for all students.
