Folsom Borough School District

The Folsom Borough School District in New Jersey is home to a single public elementary school, Folsom Elementary School, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 8th grade. The school's student population is predominantly white (83.51%), with smaller percentages of Hispanic, African American, and other racial/ethnic groups.

Academically, Folsom Elementary School's performance on the New Jersey Student Learning Assessments (NJSLA) varies across grade levels and subject areas. While the school's English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency rates range from 34.2% to 72.5%, its Mathematics proficiency rates are lower, ranging from 23.1% to 62.5%. In Science, the school's proficiency rates are also below the state averages. The school's chronic absenteeism rate of 7.1% is a potential area of concern, and 22.34% of its students are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a population with lower socioeconomic status.

Despite these challenges, Folsom Elementary School has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 9.1, and its per-student spending of $12,563 for the 2018-2019 school year suggests a focus on resource allocation. However, the school's academic performance, particularly in comparison to state averages, highlights opportunities for improvement in aligning student outcomes with state benchmarks and addressing factors that may be impacting student learning, such as chronic absenteeism and socioeconomic factors.
