Summary:
The Oxford Township School District in New Jersey has only one school, Oxford Central School, which serves grades PK-8 with a total enrollment of 249 students. The school's academic performance varies across grade levels and subject areas compared to the state averages in New Jersey.
In English Language Arts (ELA), Oxford Central School's proficiency rates range from 29.4% in 6th grade to 70.8% in 7th grade, while the state average ranges from 43.6% in 3rd grade to 53.9% in 7th grade. In Mathematics, the school's proficiency rates range from 0% in 8th grade to 52.1% in 7th grade, compared to the state average of 19.4% in 8th grade to 47.6% in 3rd grade. The school's performance on the Algebra I end-of-course assessment is significantly higher than the state average, with 78.6% proficiency compared to 39.7% statewide.
Oxford Central School's chronic absenteeism rate of 16.6% is higher than the state's average, which could be a contributing factor to the uneven academic performance. The school's per-student spending of $14,106 and a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 9.2 suggest that the school has access to adequate resources, but the inconsistent results across grade levels and subject areas indicate that the resources may not be optimized or effectively utilized to support student learning. Addressing the root causes of chronic absenteeism and reviewing the school's educational practices and resource allocation should be priorities for the school and district.
