Summary:
The Roselle Public School District in New Jersey is home to 4 elementary schools serving students from kindergarten through 4th grade. These schools, which include Washington Elementary School, Harrison Elementary School, Dr. Charles C. Polk School, and Kindergarten Success Academy, serve a diverse student population with a majority of African American and Hispanic students.
Among these schools, Harrison Elementary School stands out as a top performer, outpacing the district and state averages in 3rd and 4th grade English Language Arts and Math proficiency. Additionally, Harrison has a relatively lower chronic absenteeism rate of 15.5% and receives more funding per student ($15,698) compared to the other schools. In contrast, Kindergarten Success Academy has a concerning chronic absenteeism rate of 38%, the highest among the schools, and spends the least per student ($11,447).
The data reveals significant disparities in academic performance across the schools, suggesting the need for a closer examination of factors such as teaching quality, resource allocation, and student support programs. Addressing the high chronic absenteeism rates, particularly at Kindergarten Success Academy, and ensuring equitable access to quality education for all students in the Roselle Public School District should be key priorities for the district.
