Summary:
The Lawnside School District in New Jersey contains a single elementary school, Lawnside School, which serves grades PK-8 with a total enrollment of 324 students. The school has a diverse student population, with a majority of African American and Hispanic students, and faces significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to its community.
Lawnside School's academic performance, as measured by standardized test scores, is consistently and significantly below the state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. The school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science are well below the state benchmarks, with some grades reporting 0% proficiency in certain subjects. This poor academic performance has led to a declining school ranking, with Lawnside School now ranked 1267 out of 1342 New Jersey elementary schools, down from 1029 out of 1317 schools just two years ago.
The school's struggles are further compounded by high levels of economic disadvantage, with 39.51% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, and a chronic absenteeism rate of 29%, which is significantly higher than the state average. These factors suggest that the Lawnside School District and the Lawnside School community may need to implement comprehensive strategies and interventions to address the unique challenges faced by the school and support the needs of its students.
