Butler Public School District


Summary:

The Butler Public School District in New Jersey operates three schools serving grades K-12: Butler High School, Aaron Decker School, and Richard Butler School. The data analysis reveals a mix of high-performing and average-performing schools, with Richard Butler School and Butler High School standing out as the strongest performers in the district.

Richard Butler School is the top-performing school in the district, consistently outperforming the district and state averages in English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency. The school's 100% proficiency rate in Algebra I for 8th graders is particularly impressive, significantly exceeding the state average. Butler High School also maintains a strong academic standing, with its students outperforming the district and state averages in several key subject areas. The school's high graduation rate and low dropout rate suggest a focus on student success and retention.

However, the data also highlights potential areas for improvement within the Butler Public School District. The student racial makeup across the schools indicates a relatively high proportion of white students, with lower representation of African American and Asian students, raising questions about resource equity. Additionally, the notable difference in chronic absenteeism rates between Richard Butler School and Aaron Decker School suggests the need for further investigation into the factors contributing to these disparities.
