Summary:
The Buena Regional School District in New Jersey consists of 5 schools, including 3 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. The district appears to be facing significant challenges in terms of student academic performance, resource allocation, and equity.
The standout schools in the district are Buena Regional Middle School, which has the highest proficiency rates in NJSLA/Algebra I, and Collings Lakes Elementary School and John C. Milanesi Elementary School, which have the highest spending per student. However, the high spending at the elementary schools does not appear to translate to better academic performance across the district.
Overall, the schools in the Buena Regional School District consistently perform below the state averages on standardized tests, with the high school and middle school ranking in the bottom half of their respective categories in New Jersey. The district also faces high rates of chronic absenteeism and a predominantly low-income student population, which may contribute to the overall lower academic achievement. Addressing these challenges will likely require a comprehensive, data-driven approach to improve outcomes for all students in the district.
