Ogdensburg Borough School District

Ogdensburg Borough School District is a small school district in New Jersey that serves the community of Ogdensburg Borough with a single elementary school, Ogdensburg Borough School, which educates students from pre-kindergarten through 8th grade.

Ogdensburg Borough School has a student population of 281, with a predominantly white student body (80.43%) and smaller percentages of Hispanic (15.66%), African American (2.14%), Asian (0.71%), and Pacific Islander (1.07%) students. The school's academic performance is mixed, with strong English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency rates that exceed the state average in several grade levels, but more inconsistent mathematics proficiency, particularly in the upper grades. Additionally, the school faces a significant challenge with a high chronic absenteeism rate of 27.5%, which is much higher than the state average.

Despite spending more per student ($14,824) than the state average, Ogdensburg Borough School's academic performance is not consistently strong across all subject areas, suggesting that factors beyond just funding may be at play. The school's demographic composition, with a predominantly white student population, may also be an area to explore in terms of diversity and equity within the school community. Overall, Ogdensburg Borough School District has a single school that shows some strengths in ELA but faces challenges in mathematics and chronic absenteeism, warranting further investigation and targeted interventions to improve student outcomes.
