Summary:
The Delran Township School District in New Jersey is home to a single high school, Delran High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. While the school has a relatively high graduation rate of 91.1%, it is performing below average compared to other high schools in the state, ranking 220 out of 426 New Jersey high schools for the 2023-2024 school year and earning a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Delran High School's academic performance is mixed, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics below the state and district averages, but a higher proficiency rate in Science compared to the state average. The school also faces challenges with a higher-than-average chronic absenteeism rate of 16.6%. Additionally, approximately 21% of Delran High School students receive free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a significant population of economically disadvantaged students who may require additional support and resources.
Despite these areas of concern, Delran High School does have some positive attributes, such as a lower student-teacher ratio of 11.8, which suggests smaller class sizes. However, the school's consistent underperformance over the past three school years suggests the need for a closer examination of its practices and strategies to better support student success and improve overall academic outcomes.
