Egg Harbor City School District


Summary:

The Egg Harbor City School District in New Jersey operates two schools: Egg Harbor City Community School, a middle school, and Charles L. Spragg School, an elementary school. Both schools serve predominantly non-white, economically disadvantaged student populations and are struggling to meet academic standards.

Across both schools, proficiency rates on standardized tests are alarmingly low, with only 8.3% of 4th graders at Egg Harbor City Community School proficient in English Language Arts and just 1.7% proficient in math, compared to state averages of 51.3% and 44.3%, respectively. Science proficiency is also extremely low, with only 1.6% of 5th graders and 5.1% of 8th graders scoring proficient or better. Additionally, both schools have very high chronic absenteeism rates, more than double the state average.

Despite relatively high per-student spending and low student-to-teacher ratios, the Egg Harbor City School District is failing to provide a quality education to its students. Addressing the systemic challenges will require a comprehensive, data-driven approach that prioritizes equity and student success. Improving academic outcomes, reducing chronic absenteeism, and ensuring all students have access to a high-quality education should be the top priorities for the district.
