Lakehurst School District

The Lakehurst School District consists of a single school, Lakehurst Elementary School, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 8th grade. The school's performance is concerning, as it is ranked 1216 out of 1338 New Jersey elementary schools and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Lakehurst Elementary School's test scores are significantly below the state averages across all grade levels and subjects. For example, in 3rd grade English Language Arts, only 9.3% of students scored proficient or better, compared to the state average of 43.6%. The school's math and science scores are equally low, with 0% of 6th graders and 5th/8th graders scoring proficient or better, respectively. Additionally, the school has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 16.6%, which is much higher than the state average.

Despite the higher-than-average spending per student of $16,629 and a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 10:1, the school's performance remains poor. This suggests that simply increasing funding may not be the sole solution to improving educational outcomes. The data indicates that Lakehurst Elementary School may require targeted interventions and support to address the underlying issues contributing to its low performance, such as addressing attendance, providing additional academic support, and addressing the needs of economically disadvantaged students, as over 54% of the student population receives free or reduced-price lunch.
