Gloucester Township Public Schools

Summary:

The Gloucester Township Public Schools district in New Jersey consists of 11 schools, including 8 elementary schools and 3 middle schools, serving students from pre-kindergarten through 8th grade. The district as a whole is ranked 441 out of 613 in New Jersey and is rated 1 star out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

Within the district, a few schools stand out for their strong academic performance. Union Valley Elementary School has the highest proficiency rates in both English Language Arts and Mathematics compared to the district and state averages. Glendora Elementary School also performs well, with high proficiency rates across grade levels. Additionally, Gloucester Township Elementary School, a smaller school with 244 students, has strong performance, particularly in English Language Arts.

However, the data also reveals significant gaps in performance between the highest and lowest-performing schools, especially in Mathematics. The district's consistently high chronic absenteeism rate of 16.6% across all schools is also a concern. Additionally, there does not appear to be a clear correlation between per-student spending and academic performance, suggesting the need for a more targeted, school-specific approach to improvement efforts within the Gloucester Township Public Schools district.
