Summary:
The Farmingdale Public School District in New Jersey has only one elementary school, Farmingdale Elementary, which serves grades PK-8 with a total enrollment of 163 students. Based on the available data, Farmingdale Elementary does not appear to be a standout school in the state, with a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger and a declining statewide ranking over the past few years.
Academically, Farmingdale Elementary's proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics on the NJSLA assessments are generally below the state averages, with some exceptions in certain grade levels. The school's science proficiency rates on the NJSLA-S assessment are also below the state averages. Additionally, the school has a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate of 16.6%, which is higher than the state average.
Socioeconomic factors may also be contributing to the school's challenges, as it has a relatively high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch at 22.7% and a higher-than-average per-student spending of $15,141 for the 2018-2019 school year. The school's low student-teacher ratio of 6.9 to 1 in 2022-2023 suggests that the district may be investing resources in the school, but the academic performance and other metrics indicate that more work may be needed to improve the overall quality of education at Farmingdale Elementary.
