Summary:
The Egg Harbor City School District in New Jersey consists of two schools - Egg Harbor City Community School (a middle school) and Charles L. Spragg School (an elementary school). Both schools are performing well below the state average, with extremely low test scores, high chronic absenteeism rates, and a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.
The data shows that Egg Harbor City Community School is ranked 709th out of 743 New Jersey middle schools, while Charles L. Spragg School is ranked 1316th out of 1338 New Jersey elementary schools for the 2023-2024 school year. This indicates that the schools are struggling to meet academic standards, with only 12.5% of 4th graders at Egg Harbor City Community School proficient or better in English Language Arts, and just 8.9% of 4th graders and 4.3% of 8th graders meeting or exceeding math standards.
Despite higher-than-average spending per student and relatively low student-teacher ratios, the schools are not seeing the expected improvements in student performance. This suggests that the challenges facing the Egg Harbor City School District are systemic and require a comprehensive approach to address the root causes of the low academic achievement, high chronic absenteeism, and high rates of economic disadvantage among the student populations.
