Stone Harbor School District

The Stone Harbor School District is a small, single-school district located in the coastal town of Stone Harbor, New Jersey. The district's sole school, Stone Harbor Elementary School, serves students in grades K-4 with a relatively small student population of 85.

While Stone Harbor Elementary School has some academic strengths, such as above-average proficiency rates in English Language Arts, it faces challenges in other areas. The school's Mathematics proficiency rates are below the state average, and it has experienced fluctuations in its statewide ranking, ranging from 102nd out of 1,345 elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 702nd out of 1,342 in 2022-2023. Additionally, the school has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 20.9%, which can negatively impact student learning and outcomes.

Another notable aspect of Stone Harbor Elementary School is its demographic makeup, with a very high percentage of white students (91.76%) and low representation of minority groups. This lack of diversity is not reflective of the broader diversity in New Jersey. Despite the school's relatively high spending per student of $19,958, it's unclear if this investment is translating into improved academic performance, particularly in Mathematics.
