Galloway Township Public School District

The Galloway Township Public School District in New Jersey serves students from preschool through 8th grade across 6 schools, including 5 elementary schools and 1 middle school. The district's schools exhibit a wide range of academic performance, with Reeds Road Elementary School standing out as a high-performing outlier, while other schools struggle to meet state averages on assessments.

Reeds Road Elementary School boasts the highest proficiency rates on state tests, with over 54% of 4th and 5th graders proficient or better in ELA, significantly outpacing the district and state. In contrast, Galloway Township Middle School and Arthur Rann Elementary School have seen their statewide rankings and ratings decline in recent years, indicating potential challenges the district is facing. Chronic absenteeism rates also vary widely, from 12.2% at the middle school to 20.2% at Smithville Elementary School.

The data suggests a correlation between socioeconomic status and academic performance, with schools serving higher percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, such as Roland Rogers Elementary School, tending to have lower test scores and higher chronic absenteeism. Additionally, the student-teacher ratios vary significantly across the district, with Pomona Preschool having the lowest ratio of 7.8, which may indicate differences in staffing and resource allocation within the Galloway Township Public School District.
