Summary:
The city of Woodland Park, New Jersey is home to 4 schools, including 3 elementary schools (John P. Holland Charter School, Charles Olbon School, and Beatrice Gilmore School) and 1 middle school (Memorial Middle School). The data reveals significant socioeconomic challenges faced by these schools, with high rates of chronic absenteeism and free/reduced lunch recipients.
John P. Holland Charter School stands out as the lowest-performing school, consistently ranking in the bottom 30% of New Jersey elementary schools and receiving a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's test scores are well below state averages, and it has the highest rates of chronic absenteeism and free/reduced lunch recipients among the schools in the data set. In contrast, Memorial Middle School is the highest-performing school, but its statewide ranking has been declining over the past few years.
The data suggests that the schools in Woodland Park could benefit from targeted interventions and support to address the socioeconomic challenges faced by their student populations. Strategies to improve attendance, provide additional resources and support for students, and enhance instructional practices could potentially lead to improved academic outcomes across the district. The John P Holland Charter School School District and the Woodland Park School District may need to explore these opportunities to support the success of their students.
