Summary:
The Pine Hill School District in New Jersey consists of 4 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school, serving students from diverse backgrounds. While the district faces challenges in overall academic performance, there are some standout schools that demonstrate strengths in specific areas.
The John H. Glenn School, an elementary school, stands out with the highest proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics, particularly in grades 4 and 5, as well as the lowest chronic absenteeism rate and the smallest student-teacher ratio. Meanwhile, the Pine Hill Middle School excels in Algebra I, with 73.7% of 8th graders proficient or better, and has higher-than-average English Language Arts proficiency rates in grades 7 and 8.
However, the district as a whole faces significant challenges, with most schools performing below the state averages in subject areas like Mathematics and Science. The Overbrook Senior High School has particularly low proficiency rates in Algebra I and Science, while the elementary schools struggle the most, with proficiency rates in the 20-30% range for English Language Arts and 12-31% for Mathematics. Additionally, the district has high rates of economic disadvantage, with all schools having over 50% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, which likely contributes to the academic performance gaps.
