Summary:
The Sussex-Wantage Regional School District in New Jersey consists of 3 schools: 2 elementary schools (Clifton E. Lawrence and Wantage Elementary School) and 1 middle school (Sussex Middle School). The data reveals a mix of strengths and challenges across the district, with Wantage Elementary standing out as the top-performing school.
Clifton E. Lawrence has the highest student enrollment and the lowest student-teacher ratio, indicating smaller class sizes. Meanwhile, Wantage Elementary has the highest state-wide ranking and the best proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics compared to the other schools and the district average. However, the district as a whole faces challenges, such as high chronic absenteeism rates and declining performance at Sussex Middle School.
The student population across the district is predominantly white, with relatively low percentages of Hispanic and African American students. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, a proxy for socioeconomic status, varies across the schools, suggesting potential disparities within the district that may impact academic outcomes. Addressing these challenges and leveraging the strengths of the top-performing school could be valuable strategies for the Sussex-Wantage Regional School District to improve overall educational outcomes.
