Elementary Schools in Palisades Park School District


Summary:

The Palisades Park School District in New Jersey is home to two elementary schools: Lindbergh Elementary School and Charles R Smith Early Childhood Center. Both schools serve a diverse student population, with a majority of Hispanic and Asian students, and a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students.

Academically, the schools in the Palisades Park School District face significant challenges, with both Lindbergh Elementary School and Charles R Smith Early Childhood Center performing well below the state average in English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency across all grade levels. The chronic absenteeism rates at these schools, particularly the alarmingly high rate of 44.3% at Charles R Smith Early Childhood Center, suggest that attendance and engagement are major challenges for the district.

While the Palisades Park School District appears to be allocating resources differently between the two schools, with Charles R Smith Early Childhood Center spending more per student and having a significantly lower student-teacher ratio, the overall performance of the district's elementary schools remains a concern. Targeted interventions and a closer examination of resource allocation may be necessary to address the academic and attendance challenges faced by these schools and improve educational outcomes for the district's students.
