Netcong School District

The Netcong School District consists of a single school, Netcong Elementary School, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 8th grade. The school's academic performance has been a concern, with its statewide ranking declining over the past three years. While the school's English Language Arts proficiency rates are mixed, with some grades performing above the state average and others below, its Mathematics and Science proficiency rates are generally lower than the state average.

Netcong Elementary School has a relatively high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, at 43.05% in the 2022-2023 school year. This may be a contributing factor to the school's academic challenges. However, the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 9.2, which could be an advantage in providing more individualized attention to students. Unfortunately, the school also has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 16.6%, which may be impacting student learning and achievement.

Overall, the data suggests that Netcong Elementary School is facing significant challenges in terms of academic performance, particularly in Mathematics and Science. The school's declining statewide ranking and the high percentage of economically disadvantaged students may be contributing factors to these challenges. While the school's low student-teacher ratio could be an asset, the high chronic absenteeism rate may be undermining the potential benefits of this resource.
