Ventnor City School District

The Ventnor City School District consists of two schools: Ventnor Elementary School and Ventnor Middle School. The data analysis reveals that Ventnor Elementary School is a standout performer within the district, consistently ranking in the top 30% of New Jersey elementary schools over the past three years. In contrast, Ventnor Middle School has more mixed academic results, with proficiency rates in Mathematics and Science lagging behind the state averages.

Ventnor Elementary School's strong academic performance is evident in its high English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics proficiency rates, which are significantly above the state averages. The school's 3rd and 4th-grade students have outperformed their peers statewide, and the school's overall ranking of 362 out of 1,338 New Jersey elementary schools is impressive. Additionally, the school's low chronic absenteeism rate of 16.6% and favorable student-teacher ratio of 7.3 suggest a positive learning environment.

While Ventnor Middle School's overall ranking is in the top 50% of New Jersey middle schools, its academic performance is more varied. The school's ELA proficiency is generally on par with or slightly above the state average, but its Mathematics and Science proficiency rates, particularly in 8th grade, are concerning. The school's 8th-grade Mathematics proficiency rate of only 9.8% is well below the state average of 19.4%. However, the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 16.6% is the same as the elementary school, indicating a consistent challenge across the district.
