Summary:
The Mount Arlington Public School District in New Jersey consists of two schools: Mount Arlington Public School, a middle school, and Edith M. Decker Elementary School. The district serves a diverse student population across these two schools, with a mix of white, African American, Hispanic, and Asian students.
Mount Arlington Public School stands out for its exceptional academic performance, consistently exceeding state averages on NJSLA English Language Arts and Mathematics assessments. The school also has a relatively low chronic absenteeism rate of 12.3% compared to the elementary school. In contrast, Edith M. Decker Elementary School has a significantly higher chronic absenteeism rate of 32.4%, which is a potential area of concern.
While Edith M. Decker Elementary School has a slightly higher spending per student, this does not appear to translate into better academic outcomes based on the available data. The district-level ranking of 250 out of 615 in New Jersey suggests that district-level policies, resources, and leadership may be playing a role in shaping the performance of these individual schools. Overall, the data provides insights into the strengths and areas for improvement within the Mount Arlington Public School District, which can help guide efforts to ensure all students receive a high-quality education.
