Deerfield Township School District

Deerfield Township School District is a small district in New Jersey that consists of only one school, Deerfield Township Elementary School. The school serves students from pre-kindergarten through 8th grade and has consistently ranked in the bottom 25% of New Jersey elementary schools over the past three years. The school's academic performance, as measured by standardized test scores, is significantly below the state average in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science.

Deerfield Township Elementary School has a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, at 53.94% in the 2022-2023 school year. The school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 10.2 to 1, and the Deerfield Township School District spent $13,921 per student in the 2018-2019 school year. However, the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 16.6% in the 2022-2023 school year is a concerning metric that may be contributing to the low academic performance.

Overall, the data analysis suggests that Deerfield Township Elementary School is facing significant challenges in providing a quality education to its students. Addressing the school's academic performance, chronic absenteeism, and the unique needs of its student population should be the top priorities for the district. Targeted interventions and a comprehensive approach to school improvement may be necessary to help the school achieve better outcomes for its students.
