Summary:
The East Windsor Regional School District in New Jersey consists of 6 schools, including 4 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school, serving students from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade. The district faces some academic challenges, but also has bright spots, such as the strong graduation rate at Hightstown High School.
Academically, the district's performance on state assessments is generally below the state average, with the exception of the higher grades at the elementary schools. The middle school, Melvin H. Kreps Middle School, struggles the most, particularly in 8th grade math. However, Grace N. Rogers Elementary School and Walter C. Black Elementary School stand out with their lower student-teacher ratios, which could indicate more personalized attention for students.
The district also faces challenges with chronic absenteeism, particularly at the elementary level, and a significant population of economically disadvantaged students, with over a third of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch across the schools. While the district as a whole is ranked 420 out of 615 districts in New Jersey and rated 2 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger, addressing these issues and focusing on improving academic proficiency could be key areas for the East Windsor Regional School District to target.
