Greater Brunswick Charter School

Greater Brunswick Charter School is the only school in the Greater Brunswick Charter School district, serving students from kindergarten through 8th grade in New Brunswick, New Jersey. This elementary school has a unique student population, with a predominantly Hispanic student body, and faces challenges in academic performance and resource allocation.

The Greater Brunswick Charter School stands out for its high percentage of Hispanic students, at 89.59%, which is significantly higher than the state average. However, the school's academic performance, as measured by state assessments, is quite low compared to the state, with proficiency rates in 3rd grade English Language Arts at 28.9% and 8th grade Math at 0%, well below the state averages. The school's chronic absenteeism rate of 10.1% is also higher than the state average, which may contribute to the low academic achievement.

With per-student spending of $10,212, which is lower than the state average, the Greater Brunswick Charter School district may face limitations in providing comprehensive educational programs and support services to its students. Despite these challenges, the school's unique student population and the district's efforts to serve the community suggest the need for targeted interventions and additional resources to improve academic outcomes and support student success.
