Elsinboro Township School District

Elsinboro Township School District is a small school district in New Jersey, consisting of a single elementary school serving grades K-8. With a total enrollment of 117 students, Elsinboro Township School has a diverse student population, with a majority of white students (58.12%) and significant percentages of African American (17.09%) and Hispanic (14.53%) students.

Academically, the school's performance is mixed, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA) generally on par with or slightly above the state average, but weaker performance in mathematics and science, particularly in the upper grades. The school's mathematics proficiency rates range from 9.1% in grade 6 to 56.3% in grade 3, while science proficiency rates are low, with only 11.1% of 5th-grade students and 6.7% of 8th-grade students scoring proficient or better. The school's chronic absenteeism rate of 10.1% is also slightly higher than the state average.

Despite the school's relatively high spending per student of $14,031, which is above the state average, the school's statewide ranking has declined over the past three school years, from 545 out of 1,345 elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 865 out of 1,342 in 2022-2023. This suggests that the school may face challenges in effectively translating its resources into improved student outcomes, particularly in the areas of mathematics and science. The high percentage of students (57.26%) eligible for free or reduced-price lunch also indicates that the school may face socioeconomic challenges that can impact student learning and achievement.
