New Horizons Community Charter School has consistently ranked in the bottom 15% of New Jersey elementary schools over the past three school years, with rankings between 1,150 and 1,213 out of around 1,340 schools. The school's performance on state assessments is significantly below the state average across all grade levels and subject areas, with proficiency rates ranging from 12.9% to 38.9% in English Language Arts and 5.4% to 33.3% in mathematics. The school's science proficiency rates are also very low, with only 4.3% of 5th graders and 6.5% of 8th graders scoring proficient or better.
The school serves a population with significant socioeconomic challenges, with 93.7% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending of $12,066 for the 2018-2019 school year, which is slightly higher than the state average, the low academic performance suggests that the school may need to implement targeted interventions and support systems to help struggling students improve their skills and achievement.
