Summary:
The Highland Park Boro School District in New Jersey is home to two elementary schools: Bartle Elementary School and Irving Primary School. These schools serve students from diverse backgrounds, with a significant percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.
Bartle Elementary School stands out as the stronger-performing school, with higher proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics across 3rd, 4th, and 5th grades compared to the district and state averages. Additionally, Bartle Elementary has a lower chronic absenteeism rate and a more diverse student population, with a higher percentage of White and Asian students.
In contrast, Irving Primary School has a higher percentage of Hispanic and African American students, as well as a higher chronic absenteeism rate. However, Irving Primary School has a higher spending per student, which may contribute to the performance gap between the two schools. The student-teacher ratio also differs, with Bartle Elementary School having a lower ratio, which could provide more individualized attention for students.
