Best Public Schools in Woodlynne, NJ


Summary:

The city of Woodlynne, New Jersey is home to a single elementary school, Woodlynne Boro Public School, which serves grades PK-8 with a total enrollment of 383 students. The school is part of the Woodlynne School District, which is ranked 510 out of 615 school districts in New Jersey and is rated 1 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger.

Woodlynne Boro Public School faces significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to its diverse and economically disadvantaged student population. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom quarter of New Jersey elementary schools over the past three years, with a 1 out of 5 star rating from SchoolDigger. The student population is predominantly Hispanic (59.53%) and African American (28.72%), and a high percentage (83.03%) of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage. The school's academic performance, as measured by the percentage of students proficient or better on the NJSLA assessments, is generally below the state average across all grade levels and subject areas.

Despite the school's challenges, there are some bright spots, such as the relatively stronger performance in 7th grade English Language Arts, where 60% of students were proficient or better, compared to the state average of 55.7%. Additionally, the school's per-student spending is higher than the state average, and its student-teacher ratio is lower than the state average, suggesting that the district is allocating significant resources to the school. However, these resources do not appear to be translating into improved academic outcomes, and the school's high chronic absenteeism rate of 26.4% is a significant concern that may be contributing to its persistent low performance.
