Summary:
The Matawan-Aberdeen Regional School District in New Jersey consists of 7 schools, including 5 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. The data reveals significant variation in school performance within the district, with some standout schools like Matawan-Aberdeen Middle School and Strathmore Elementary School performing exceptionally well, while others like Cliffwood Elementary School struggle.
The district's high school, Matawan Regional High School, stands out with a strong 91.1% four-year graduation rate and a low 1.2% dropout rate. However, the district as a whole faces challenges, such as a higher-than-average chronic absenteeism rate of 16.6% across all schools. Performance on state assessments (NJSLA) also varies, with some schools, like Matawan-Aberdeen Middle School, excelling in math, while others lag behind the state average.
The data suggests potential equity concerns, as the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch ranges from 13.5% at Strathmore Elementary to 38.3% at Cliffwood Elementary. Additionally, the decline in statewide ranking for Ravine Drive Elementary School over the past few years is a concern that warrants further investigation.
