Deal Boro School District

The Deal Boro School District in New Jersey has only one school, Deal Elementary School, which serves grades K-8 with a total enrollment of 159 students. While the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 8:1, its overall academic performance is below average, ranking in the bottom half of elementary schools statewide.

Deal Elementary School's proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics are mixed, with some grades performing above the state average and others significantly below. However, the school's science proficiency rates are particularly concerning, with only 11.1% of 5th graders and 0% of 8th graders scoring proficient or better, compared to the state averages of 27.5% and 18.8%, respectively. Additionally, the school has a 2-star rating out of 5 from SchoolDigger, indicating below-average performance.

Despite the relatively high per-student spending of $16,125, which is above the state average, the school's overall academic outcomes are not commensurate with the resources invested. This raises questions about the efficiency and effectiveness of resource utilization. Furthermore, the school has a relatively high rate of free and reduced-price lunch recipients at 22.01%, suggesting potential socioeconomic challenges that may be impacting student learning. Targeted interventions and support for economically disadvantaged students could be an area for improvement.
