Summary:
The city of Willingboro, New Jersey is home to 9 schools, including 6 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 1 high school. The district as a whole is performing well below the state average, ranking 583 out of 613 districts in New Jersey and receiving a 0 out of 5 star rating from SchoolDigger.
Among the standout schools in the district, Benjamin Banneker Preparatory Charter School has some of the highest test scores, with 47.5% of 5th graders proficient or better in English Language Arts compared to the district average of 52.3%. However, the school still ranks in the bottom 20% of elementary schools statewide. Meanwhile, Hawthorne Park Elementary School is the strongest performing traditional public elementary school, with 31.7% of 3rd graders and 30.8% of 4th graders proficient or better in ELA, above the district averages.
Across the Willingboro Public School District, proficiency rates on state assessments are very low, with most schools scoring 20-30 percentage points below the state average in both English Language Arts and Math. Chronic absenteeism is also a major issue, with all schools reporting rates over 16%. While per-student spending varies widely, from $8,406 at Benjamin Banneker Preparatory Charter School to $19,173 at Willingboro High School, this higher spending does not seem to translate to better outcomes.
