Lawnside School District


Summary:

The Lawnside School District in New Jersey consists of a single elementary school, Lawnside School, which serves grades PK-8 with a total enrollment of 324 students. The school faces significant academic challenges, with proficiency rates on state assessments well below the state averages across all grade levels and subject areas.

Lawnside School has a predominantly African American student population (71.3%), with notable Hispanic representation (20.68%) and a small percentage of white (3.09%) and Asian (0.62%) students. The school's academic performance, as measured by proficiency rates on the NJSLA, is consistently in the bottom quartile of New Jersey elementary schools, with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger. Additionally, the school has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 29.0%, which is significantly higher than the state average.

Despite the school's higher-than-average per-student spending of $13,798, the lack of corresponding academic progress suggests that simply increasing funding may not be the sole solution. Addressing the root causes of the school's persistent academic challenges, such as systemic inequities, ineffective instructional practices, and barriers to student attendance, will require a comprehensive and targeted approach to ensure that all students in the Lawnside School District have access to a high-quality education.
