Dunellen Public School District


Summary:

The Dunellen Public School District in New Jersey consists of three schools: John P. Faber Elementary School, Dunellen High School, and Lincoln Middle School. The district serves a population with significant socioeconomic challenges, as evidenced by the high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch across all three schools.

The data reveals that the schools in the Dunellen Public School District are consistently underperforming compared to the state average. All three schools rank in the bottom quarter of their respective school types in New Jersey, with significantly lower test scores, particularly in mathematics. The chronic absenteeism rate across the district is also higher than the state average, which may be contributing to the low academic performance.

Despite the district's challenges, there are some positive aspects to note. Dunellen High School maintains a high four-year graduation rate and a low dropout rate, indicating that the school is able to support students in completing their education. However, the overall low performance across the district suggests a need for targeted interventions, increased funding and resource allocation, and a focus on improving attendance and engagement to help students reach their full potential.
