Summary:
The Woodland Township School District in New Jersey has only one elementary school, Chatsworth Elementary School, which serves students from kindergarten through 8th grade. Based on the available data, Chatsworth Elementary School appears to be a low-performing school, ranking 997 out of 1,338 New Jersey elementary schools for the 2023-2024 school year and earning a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.
The school's academic performance is a significant concern, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics well below 50% for most grade levels and significantly lower than the state average. Additionally, the school's science proficiency rates are extremely low, with only 10% and 9.1% of 5th and 8th-grade students, respectively, scoring proficient or better. While the school's student-teacher ratio is relatively low at 7.3, its chronic absenteeism rate of 16.6% is relatively high.
Despite the school's low performance, it serves a relatively low-income population, with a free/reduced lunch rate of 11.65%. The school's spending per student of $15,535 for the 2018-2019 school year is above the state average, suggesting that additional resources may not be the sole solution to improving academic outcomes. The school's declining statewide ranking over the past three years and the significant discrepancies in test scores across grade levels indicate that targeted interventions and a comprehensive approach to addressing the school's challenges may be necessary to support student learning and achievement.
