Washington Township School District

The Washington Township School District in New Jersey consists of 11 schools, including 7 elementary schools, 3 middle schools, and 1 high school, serving students from pre-K through 12th grade. The district's schools demonstrate a range of academic performance, with some standout institutions like Whitman Elementary School ranking among the top 299 elementary schools in the state, while others, such as Bells Elementary School and Wedgwood Elementary School, lag behind the district and state averages in proficiency rates.

The district's middle schools also show varying levels of academic achievement, with Chestnut Ridge Middle School and Bunker Hill Middle School standing out for their strong English Language Arts proficiency rates. However, the district as a whole struggles with high chronic absenteeism rates, with several schools exceeding 15%, which may require further investigation and targeted interventions.

The Washington Township High School boasts a 93.6% four-year graduation rate and a low 1.5% dropout rate, indicating a strong commitment to student success. Additionally, the district's per-student spending varies significantly, from $9,904 at Hurffville Elementary School to $13,287 at Orchard Valley Middle School, raising questions about the equity of resource distribution and its potential impact on student outcomes.
