Fredon Township School District

Fredon Township School District is a small school district in New Jersey that serves the community of Fredon Township. The district has only one school, Fredon Township School, which is an elementary school covering grades PK-6. Despite its small size, Fredon Township School stands out as a strong-performing school, ranking in the top third of all elementary schools in New Jersey.

Fredon Township School has maintained a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past three years, indicating it is performing above average compared to other schools in the state. The school's student performance on the NJSLA assessments is particularly impressive, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts exceeding the state average by 10-25 percentage points across grade levels. Additionally, the school's 5th grade science proficiency rate of 40.9% is significantly higher than the state average of 27.5%.

While Fredon Township School's academic performance is strong, the school also has a relatively low-poverty student population, with only 3.35% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. This suggests the school may benefit from additional resources and support compared to schools serving more economically disadvantaged communities. The school's low student-teacher ratio of 8.5 to 1 also indicates it is able to provide a more personalized learning environment for its students, which may contribute to its academic success. However, the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 16.6% is slightly higher than the state average, which could be an area for improvement.
