Summary:
The Washington Borough School District in New Jersey operates two elementary schools, Washington Memorial Elementary School and Taylor Street Elementary School, serving students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. The data reveals that both schools are performing significantly below state averages on key metrics, with no clear standout performers in the district.
Both Washington Memorial Elementary School and Taylor Street Elementary School have been ranked in the bottom 30% of New Jersey elementary schools for the past several years, with Washington Memorial scoring particularly low on state assessments in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. Both schools also struggle with high chronic absenteeism rates, exceeding 16% of students. Additionally, a significant portion of the student population at both schools, over 30%, qualifies for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage.
Despite the challenges faced by these schools, the data suggests that the Washington Borough School District may not be allocating sufficient resources to address the needs of its students. The relatively low spending per student, around $10,000 to $11,000, raises concerns about the adequacy of funding and support available to these schools. Addressing the underlying issues, such as resource allocation, student support, and community engagement, may be crucial for improving the educational outcomes in the Washington Borough School District.
