Beverly City School District is the sole elementary school serving grades PK-8 in Beverly, New Jersey. With a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger, the school's performance on state assessments is mixed compared to the state average, with particular challenges in Mathematics and Science. The school serves a population with significant socioeconomic challenges, as indicated by the high percentage of students eligible for free and reduced-price lunch. Additionally, the school faces concerns around chronic absenteeism, which may be linked to its academic performance issues.

Academically, Beverly City School District ranks 851 out of 1,338 New Jersey elementary schools. On NJSLA tests, the school's proficiency rates range from 25% to 55.9% in English Language Arts, 10.3% to 44.7% in Mathematics, and 13.3% to 4.2% in Science, compared to state averages ranging from 43.6% to 53.9% in ELA, 19.4% to 47.6% in Math, and 27.5% to 18.8% in Science. These performance gaps suggest the need for targeted interventions to improve curriculum, teaching methods, and student support.

Despite the school's challenges, it does have a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 9.5, and its per-student spending for the 2018-2019 school year was $14,330. Addressing the underlying causes of the school's high chronic absenteeism rate of 16.6% and the socioeconomic factors that may be impacting student learning could be important steps in improving the overall quality of education provided by Beverly City School District.
