Summary:
The Pemberton Township School District in New Jersey consists of 9 schools, including 6 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 1 high school, serving students from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade. The district faces significant challenges, with most schools performing below state averages on academic assessments and high rates of chronic absenteeism.
However, a few schools stand out in the district. Fort Dix Elementary School is a high-performing outlier, with significantly higher proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Math, and Science compared to the district and state averages, as well as the lowest chronic absenteeism rate and student-teacher ratio among the elementary schools. Samuel T. Busansky School also has a relatively strong performance on state assessments and the second-best student-teacher ratio among the elementary schools.
While the Pemberton Township High School has a low proficiency rate compared to the state, it boasts a very high 4-year graduation rate of 96.3% and a low dropout rate of 0.2%. The district as a whole faces significant challenges, including high rates of free/reduced lunch recipients, chronic absenteeism, and low academic performance, suggesting the need for targeted interventions and investments to improve student outcomes across the Pemberton Township School District.
