South River Public School District

The South River Public School District consists of four schools: two elementary schools, one middle school, and one high school. The district serves students in the South River area and faces significant challenges in providing a high-quality education, as evidenced by the consistently low academic performance across the schools.

South River High School stands out with a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 91.1%, but its performance on state assessments is significantly below the state averages, with proficiency rates ranging from 6.9% to 38.1% across different subjects and grade levels. In contrast, South River Middle School outperforms the district and state averages in Algebra I, but struggles in other subject areas.

The district-wide underperformance is further highlighted by the high percentages of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 38.62% at South River Elementary School to 60.38% at South River Middle School. This suggests a need for the district to closely examine its curriculum, instructional practices, and resource allocation to improve student outcomes and ensure equitable educational opportunities for all students.
