Deerfield Township School District


Summary:

The Deerfield Township School District is a small district in New Jersey, consisting of only one school, Deerfield Township Elementary School, which serves grades PK-8. The school's student population is predominantly white and Hispanic, with a relatively low-income demographic as indicated by the high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch.

Academically, Deerfield Township Elementary School consistently underperforms the state averages on standardized tests across all grade levels and subject areas, with proficiency rates ranging from 14.3% to 32.3% in English Language Arts and 2.9% to 33.3% in Mathematics. The school's chronic absenteeism rate is also higher than the state average, which may contribute to the poor academic performance. Despite the relatively high per-student spending and small class sizes, the school's academic challenges persist, suggesting that simply increasing funding and resources may not be the sole solution.

The lack of diversity in the student population and the socioeconomic factors associated with the high percentage of low-income students may also play a role in the school's academic struggles. Addressing these issues through targeted interventions and support, such as improving attendance, providing additional academic resources, and fostering a more diverse and inclusive learning environment, may be necessary to improve student outcomes in the Deerfield Township School District.
