Summary:
The Mount Holly Township Public School District in New Jersey operates three schools: two elementary schools (Gertrude C. Folwell Elementary School and John Brainerd Elementary School) and one middle school (F.W. Holbein Middle School). The data shows that these schools are consistently underperforming, with proficiency rates on standardized tests well below the state averages across all grade levels and subject areas.
The schools in the Mount Holly Township Public School District face significant challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates and a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student populations. Despite relatively low student-teacher ratios, the schools have struggled to improve academic outcomes, with proficiency rates as low as 11% in 8th grade math and 6.7% in 8th grade science.
The combination of low test scores, high chronic absenteeism, and high levels of economic disadvantage suggests that the schools in this district may require targeted interventions and support to address these complex issues. Strategies focused on improving academic instruction, addressing attendance and engagement, and providing additional resources and support for economically disadvantaged students could be beneficial in helping these schools improve outcomes for their students.
