Maurice River Township School District


Summary:

The Maurice River Township School District in New Jersey is home to a single elementary school, Maurice River Township School, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 8th grade. While the school has a predominantly white student population, it faces several challenges, including below-average academic performance, high chronic absenteeism, and potential equity issues.

Academically, Maurice River Township School struggles to meet state proficiency standards, particularly in mathematics, where student performance lags significantly behind the state averages across all grade levels. The school's English language arts and science proficiency rates are also below the state benchmarks, indicating a need for targeted interventions and support to improve student learning outcomes. Additionally, the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 30.9% is considerably higher than the state average, which likely contributes to the academic challenges.

In terms of resources, the school's spending per student of $11,252 is in line with the state average, suggesting that funding may not be the primary driver of the school's performance issues. However, the school's demographic composition, with a predominantly white student population, may indicate a need to examine the school's diversity and inclusion efforts to ensure equitable access and support for all students. Addressing these challenges will require a comprehensive approach that focuses on improving instructional practices, attendance, and support for all students, regardless of their background.
