East Windsor Regional School District

The East Windsor Regional School District in New Jersey consists of 6 schools, including 4 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. The district faces some challenges in academic performance, with schools generally underperforming the state averages on standardized assessments, particularly in math and algebra. However, the district also has some bright spots, such as the strong performance of Melvin H. Kreps Middle School and Perry L. Drew Elementary School.

Melvin H. Kreps Middle School stands out as the strongest performer in the district, with over 70% proficiency in Algebra I and Geometry, and a relatively low chronic absenteeism rate of 16.6%. Perry L. Drew Elementary School also outperforms the district and state averages on NJSLA English Language Arts and Mathematics assessments, particularly in 4th and 5th grades, and has a lower chronic absenteeism rate compared to the other elementary schools.

The district faces challenges related to socioeconomic factors, with high rates of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, ranging from 33.75% to 39.9%, suggesting a significant population of economically disadvantaged students. This may be contributing to the overall academic underperformance, as the district and its schools consistently underperform the state averages on assessments. However, the district's low student-teacher ratios, ranging from 9.6 to 12.8 students per teacher, suggest a focus on providing personalized attention to students.
