Summary:
The Maurice River Township School District in New Jersey has a single elementary school, Maurice River Township School, which serves grades PK-8 with a total enrollment of 393 students. The school's student population is predominantly White (78.37%), with smaller percentages of Hispanic (13.49%), African American (4.07%), and other racial groups.
Academically, Maurice River Township School faces some challenges. The school's English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics proficiency rates are generally lower than the state averages, ranging from 21.9% to 48.6% in ELA and 3.8% to 46.7% in Mathematics. However, the school's science proficiency rates are slightly higher than the state averages. The school also has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 30.9%, significantly above the state average, which can negatively impact student learning and outcomes.
Despite these challenges, the school has some potential strengths. It has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 10.3, suggesting smaller class sizes, and it serves a population with a high percentage (39.19%) of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a need for additional support and resources. The school's spending per student is also slightly higher than the state average, which could be an opportunity to invest in strategies to improve academic performance and attendance.
