Best Public Schools in Tuckerton, NJ

Summary:

The city of Tuckerton, New Jersey has only one public elementary school, Tuckerton Elementary School, which serves grades PK-6. The school is part of the Tuckerton Borough School District, which is ranked 502 out of 613 districts in the state.

Tuckerton Elementary School does not appear to be a standout performer, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past three school years and a declining statewide ranking, from 902 out of 1,345 elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 957 out of 1,338 in 2023-2024. The school's test scores are significantly below the state averages in both English Language Arts and Mathematics across all grade levels, and it has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 16.6% for the 2022-2023 school year.

Despite the school's small class sizes, with a student-teacher ratio of 8.7 to 1, the data suggests that Tuckerton Elementary is struggling academically. The high percentage of students (51.79%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch indicates that the school serves a predominantly low-income student population, which may contribute to the academic challenges. Overall, the data paints a picture of a school that needs to implement significant improvements and interventions to better support its students and improve educational outcomes.
