Summary:
The Elsinboro Township School District in New Jersey is home to a single elementary school, Elsinboro Township School, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 8th grade. The school's performance on state assessments is consistently below the state averages, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science falling short of the benchmarks.
Elsinboro Township School is ranked 718 out of 1,338 New Jersey elementary schools and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating below-average performance compared to other schools in the state. The school's 3rd grade proficiency rates in ELA and Math were 8.3% and 16.6%, respectively, compared to the state averages of 43.6% and 47.6%. Science proficiency rates in 5th and 8th grade were also low, at 36.4% and 0%, compared to the state averages of 27.5% and 18.8%. The school's performance appears to have declined over the past few years, with proficiency rates dropping in several grade levels and subject areas.
While the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 7.4 to 1 and higher per-student spending than the state average, it faces challenges such as a high chronic absenteeism rate of 16.6% and a student population with a high percentage (57.26%) of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting a higher proportion of students from low-income families. These factors may contribute to the school's struggles to maintain and improve student achievement.
