Summary:
The Delsea Regional High School District in New Jersey is home to a single middle school, Delsea Regional Middle School, which serves students in grades 6-8. While the school has a diverse student population, with significant representation from African American and Hispanic students, its academic performance has been declining in recent years, with proficiency rates in core subjects falling below state averages.
Delsea Regional Middle School's chronic absenteeism rate is a concerning issue, standing at 28.6% in the 2021-2022 school year, which is significantly higher than the state average. Despite the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio and higher-than-average spending per student, these factors have not translated into improved academic outcomes. The school's statewide ranking has dropped from 239th out of 745 New Jersey middle schools in 2018-2019 to 448th out of 748 in 2022-2023, and its SchoolDigger rating has decreased from 3 stars to 2 stars during this period.
The data suggests that the Delsea Regional High School District and Delsea Regional Middle School may need to investigate the root causes of the school's declining performance and address issues such as chronic absenteeism in order to improve academic outcomes for their students.
