Summary:
The Wildwood City School District in New Jersey operates three schools: Glenwood Avenue Elementary School, Wildwood High School, and Wildwood Middle School. Unfortunately, none of the schools in the district appear to be standout performers, as they all struggle with consistently low academic achievement, high poverty rates, and attendance challenges.
Across the district, student proficiency rates on standardized tests are well below the state average, with only 10.7% of 3rd graders at Glenwood Avenue Elementary School proficient in English Language Arts. The high schools also have low proficiency rates, with just 26.9% of 9th graders at Wildwood High School meeting proficiency standards in ELA. Chronic absenteeism is a significant issue, ranging from 26.4% at the high school to 29.4% at Wildwood Middle School.
The demographic challenges faced by the Wildwood City School District are also evident, with high percentages of students from low-income families and a majority Hispanic student population across the schools. Despite higher-than-average per-student spending, the district has yet to see significant improvements in student outcomes, suggesting the need for a comprehensive, data-driven approach to address these systemic issues and provide a high-quality education for all students.
