Tuckerton Borough School District

The Tuckerton Borough School District in New Jersey consists of a single public elementary school, Tuckerton Elementary School, serving grades PK-6 with an enrollment of 280 students. The school's student population is predominantly white, with a significant percentage of economically disadvantaged students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.

Academically, Tuckerton Elementary School struggles to meet state-level performance standards, with test scores in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science consistently falling below the state averages. The school also faces challenges with higher-than-average chronic absenteeism rates, which may contribute to the academic performance gaps. Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending and low student-to-teacher ratio, the data suggests that the resources are not being effectively utilized to improve educational outcomes for the students.

The findings indicate that Tuckerton Borough School District and Tuckerton Elementary School could benefit from targeted interventions and support to address the academic performance concerns, chronic absenteeism, and socioeconomic challenges faced by the student population. Strategies such as academic support programs, family engagement initiatives, and a review of resource allocation may help the school improve educational opportunities and outcomes for its students.
