Burlington City Public School District

The Burlington City Public School District consists of 4 schools, including 3 elementary schools and 1 high school, serving students in the Burlington City area. Based on the available data, the schools in this district are consistently performing well below state averages across a variety of key metrics, indicating significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to their students.

The highest-ranked school in the district is Burlington City High School, which ranks 325 out of 426 New Jersey high schools and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. However, even this school's test scores, graduation rates, and other metrics are still significantly lower than the state averages. The elementary schools in the district, including Wilbur Watts Intermediate School, Samuel Smith Elementary School, and Captain James Lawrence Elementary School, have even lower historical rankings, further highlighting the district's overall struggles.

The data reveals several concerning trends, such as low graduation rates, high dropout rates, and significantly below-average test scores across all grade levels and subject areas. Additionally, the schools in the district have high rates of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage. While per-student spending varies across the schools, the overall lack of improvement in student outcomes over time suggests that the district may be facing systemic challenges that require a comprehensive, data-driven approach to address.
