Summary:
The city of Union Beach, New Jersey is home to a single elementary school, Memorial School, which serves grades PK-8 with a total enrollment of 638 students. The school is part of the Union Beach Public School District, which is ranked 432 out of 615 school districts in New Jersey and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Memorial School's academic performance, as measured by proficiency rates on the NJSLA assessments, is generally below the statewide averages, particularly in mathematics. The school's strongest performance is in English Language Arts, where several grade levels exceed the state average, but there is still room for improvement. The school also faces challenges with a high chronic absenteeism rate of 19.0% and serves a population with a significant proportion of students from low-income families, with 28.06% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.
Despite these challenges, Memorial School has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 11.4, suggesting that it may have adequate staffing resources. However, the per-student spending of $13,079 is an area that could be further explored to understand how resources are being allocated and utilized to support student learning. Overall, the data highlights both strengths and areas for improvement at Memorial School, and the school's performance is often on par with or slightly better than the Union Beach Public School District's overall performance, suggesting that the school's challenges may be reflective of the broader district's performance.
