Summary:
The Gloucester City Public School District in New Jersey operates three schools: Cold Springs School (elementary), Gloucester City Middle School, and Gloucester City High School. While the district serves a diverse student population, the data reveals that all three schools are consistently performing below the state average on academic metrics, with low proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics.
The schools face significant challenges, including high levels of economic disadvantage, with 59-68% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. Chronic absenteeism rates are also high, ranging from 26.7% to 32.9%, which may contribute to the low academic performance. The four-year graduation rate at Gloucester City High School, at 82.1%, is below the state average.
Overall, the Gloucester City Public School District appears to be struggling to provide a high-quality education to its students. The data suggests a need for comprehensive strategies to address the systemic challenges, such as low academic achievement, high economic disadvantage, and chronic absenteeism, in order to improve student outcomes across the district.
