Summary:
The Stone Harbor School District has only one elementary school, Stone Harbor Elementary School, which serves students from grades K-4. Located in the coastal community of Stone Harbor, New Jersey, the school has a small student population of 85 and a predominantly White student body.
While Stone Harbor Elementary School performs well above the state average in English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency, its Mathematics proficiency rates are significantly lower, falling below the state average. The school's statewide ranking has also fluctuated in recent years, ranging from 102 out of 1,345 schools (5 out of 5 stars) in 2021-2022 to 702 out of 1,342 schools (2 out of 5 stars) in the current school year, suggesting inconsistent academic performance.
Despite the school's high per-student spending of $19,958 and a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 9:1, the school faces challenges with a chronic absenteeism rate of 20.9%, which may be contributing to its fluctuating academic outcomes. Additionally, the school's lack of demographic diversity, with over 91% of students identifying as White, may indicate potential equity and inclusion concerns that the district should address.
