Elementary Schools in New Brunswick School District

Summary:

The New Brunswick School District in New Jersey is home to 8 elementary schools serving students from pre-kindergarten through 8th grade. These schools vary in size, with student populations ranging from 341 to 784, and they serve a predominantly Hispanic student population with high rates of economic disadvantage.

While most of the schools in the district struggle to meet state performance standards, a few stand out. Woodrow Wilson Elementary School has the highest proficiency rates on state assessments, outperforming both the district and state averages in English Language Arts and Mathematics. Paul Robeson Community School for the Arts also performs better than the district average, particularly in English Language Arts, and has a strong focus on the arts. Additionally, Lord Stirling Elementary School has the second-highest performance on state assessments and the highest 1-star rating from SchoolDigger among the schools in the district.

However, the data reveals significant challenges facing the district as a whole, including high chronic absenteeism rates, low test scores compared to state averages, and a strong correlation between socioeconomic status and academic performance. Addressing these issues will be crucial for improving the educational outcomes of the district's students and providing them with the resources and support they need to succeed.
