Frenchtown Borough School District

The Frenchtown Borough School District in New Jersey consists of a single public elementary school, Frenchtown Elementary, serving grades PK-8 with a total enrollment of 104 students. The school's student population is predominantly white (70.19%), with smaller percentages of Hispanic (15.38%), Asian (2.88%), African American (1.92%), and students of two or more races (9.62%).

Academically, Frenchtown Elementary's proficiency rates on the NJSLA (New Jersey Student Learning Assessments) are generally higher than the state averages, particularly in English Language Arts and Grade 3 Mathematics. However, the school's performance in Mathematics, especially in Grades 5 and 6, is lower than the state averages, indicating a potential area for improvement. The school's ranking and rating have fluctuated over the past few years, ranging from 504 out of 1,317 schools (3 stars) in 2020-2021 to 759 out of 1,345 schools (2 stars) in 2021-2022, suggesting inconsistent or changing assessment criteria.

Other notable findings include a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate of 15.6%, which could impact student learning and academic outcomes, and a relatively high spending per student of $17,886, which may warrant further analysis to understand how these funds are being utilized and their impact on student performance. Overall, Frenchtown Elementary appears to be performing well in certain areas, but there are also opportunities for improvement, particularly in Mathematics and addressing the high chronic absenteeism rate.
