Summary:
The Upper Freehold Regional School District has one elementary school, Newell Elementary School, which serves students from preschool through 4th grade. Located in the Upper Freehold region of New Jersey, the school has a student population of 547, with a predominantly White (79.71%) demographic and notable representation from Hispanic (9.14%) and Asian (6.58%) students.
Academically, Newell Elementary School has shown mixed performance, with 3rd-grade English Language Arts and 4th-grade Mathematics proficiency rates above the state average, but 3rd-grade Mathematics and 4th-grade English Language Arts below the state average. The school has maintained a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past two years, indicating relatively stable academic performance, though its statewide ranking has declined from 364 out of 1,317 New Jersey elementary schools in 2020-2021 to 649 out of 1,342 in 2022-2023.
In terms of resources, Newell Elementary School appears to be well-funded, with a per-student spending of $11,192 and a low student-teacher ratio of 9.3 to 1. However, the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 7.9% in 2021-2022 is slightly higher than the state average, which could be an area for improvement. Overall, Newell Elementary School is a relatively stable and well-resourced school within the Upper Freehold Regional School District, but its academic performance and attendance rates may warrant further investigation and potential improvement efforts.
