The student-teacher ratios vary considerably, which may be a factor in the differences in academic performance. Overall, the data provides a detailed snapshot of the schools in the Gloucester Township Public Schools district, highlighting both areas of strength and areas that may require further investigation and targeted interventions to address disparities in student outcomes.
