Gloucester City Public School District


Summary:

The Gloucester City Public School District consists of three schools serving grades K-12: Cold Springs School, Gloucester City Middle School, and Gloucester City High School. While Gloucester City High School appears to be the strongest performing school in the district, the district as a whole is facing significant challenges, with all three schools ranking in the bottom half of their respective school types statewide and having low test scores compared to the state average.

The high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 16.6% to 16.6%, are a major concern across the district and may be contributing to the low academic performance. Additionally, the economic disadvantage of the student population, as evidenced by the high free and reduced lunch rates ranging from 59.12% to 67.81%, is likely a significant factor in the district's challenges and may require targeted interventions and support.

While the district is investing in smaller class sizes, with student-teacher ratios ranging from 12:1 to 14.4:1, this does not appear to be translating into improved academic outcomes. Addressing the underlying issues of chronic absenteeism and economic disadvantage will be critical for the Gloucester City Public School District to drive progress and better serve the needs of the community.
