Summary:

The Merchantville School District in New Jersey is home to a single school, Merchantville Elementary School, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 8th grade. The school boasts a diverse student population, with a mix of racial and ethnic backgrounds represented.

Academically, Merchantville Elementary School faces some challenges, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science generally lower than the district and state averages. The school's chronic absenteeism rate of 8.9% is also a concern, and the high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (31.03%) suggests that the school may serve a population with lower socioeconomic status, which can impact academic outcomes.
