Summary:
The National Park Boro School District in New Jersey has only one elementary school, National Park School, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 6th grade. The school faces significant challenges, with consistently low academic performance across all grade levels and subject areas compared to state averages.
National Park School has a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with 44.67% of its 291 students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. This factor may contribute to the school's academic struggles, which are reflected in its low ranking of 1066 out of 1342 New Jersey elementary schools and a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's performance has also declined over time, dropping from a ranking of 671 out of 1317 in 2020-2021 to its current position.
Despite the school's challenges, it does have a relatively low student-to-teacher ratio of 9.6, which could be a potential strength. However, the district as a whole is also ranked low, at 550 out of 615 school districts in New Jersey, also with a 1-star rating. These findings suggest that the National Park Boro School District and the community may need to implement targeted interventions and support to address the root causes of the school's underperformance and improve educational outcomes for its students.
