Summary:
The Delanco Township School District in New Jersey consists of two schools: M. Joan Pearson Elementary School and Walnut Street School. Both schools have consistently ranked in the bottom half of their respective school types in New Jersey, with significantly lower proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science compared to state averages.
The district faces several challenges, including a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a higher proportion of economically disadvantaged students. Additionally, the per-student spending for both schools is lower than the state average, and the student-teacher ratios are slightly higher than the recommended ratios for effective learning environments. Both schools also have a chronic absenteeism rate of 16.6%, which is higher than the state's target of 10% or less.
Overall, the Delanco Township School District appears to be struggling to provide a high-quality education for its students. The low academic performance, socioeconomic factors, resource constraints, and high chronic absenteeism rates suggest the need for a comprehensive review and improvement plan to address these issues and better support student success.
