Summary:
The Edgewater Park Township School District in New Jersey has only one elementary school, Mildred Magowan Elementary School, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 4th grade. The school's performance is significantly below the state average, with low proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics on the NJSLA assessments. Mildred Magowan Elementary has a diverse student population, with a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, which may contribute to the school's challenges.
Mildred Magowan Elementary School has a 2-star rating out of 5 from SchoolDigger, indicating below-average performance compared to other schools in New Jersey. The school's proficiency rates in ELA and Mathematics are well below the state averages, with only 27.9% of 3rd graders and 33.7% of 4th graders proficient or better in ELA, and 38.3% of 3rd graders and 41% of 4th graders proficient or better in Mathematics. The school also faces a high chronic absenteeism rate of 25.1%, which may be impacting student learning and achievement.
Despite the school's challenges, it has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 10.7, and its per-student spending is above the state average. However, these factors have not translated into improved academic performance, suggesting that the Edgewater Park Township School District may need to implement targeted interventions and support to address the unique needs of the diverse student population at Mildred Magowan Elementary School and improve student outcomes.
