Maple Shade School District


Summary:

The Maple Shade School District in New Jersey consists of 4 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. The district as a whole is struggling, with all of its schools ranked in the bottom half of their respective categories in the state. The Maple Shade High School has seen some improvement in its statewide ranking, but its overall rating remains low. Meanwhile, the Maude M. Wilkins Elementary School consistently ranks in the bottom 15% of New Jersey elementary schools and has significantly below-average test scores.

The district faces challenges in providing equitable educational opportunities, as evidenced by the high rates of free/reduced lunch recipients and the significant achievement gaps between the district's and the state's test scores. Chronic absenteeism rates also vary across the schools, with Maple Shade High School having the highest rate at 24.3% and Ralph J. Steinhauer Elementary School having the lowest at 12.4%. The district's per-student spending is also below the state average, which may be contributing to the overall low performance.

Overall, the Maple Shade School District faces significant challenges in improving the quality of education for its students. Addressing issues such as chronic absenteeism, low test scores, and inequitable resource allocation will require a comprehensive and collaborative approach involving the district, community, and relevant stakeholders.
