Woodlynne School District

The Woodlynne School District is a small district in New Jersey that contains only one school, Woodlynne Boro Public School, an elementary school serving grades PK-8 with a total enrollment of 383 students. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom 25% of New Jersey elementary schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, and faces significant challenges in providing a quality education to its predominantly Hispanic and African American student population.

Woodlynne Boro Public School's academic performance is well below state averages, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science all lagging behind. The school also has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 26.4%, which is significantly higher than the state average. Despite relatively high spending per student and a low student-teacher ratio, the school's resources do not appear to be effectively addressing the needs of its economically disadvantaged student population, with 83.03% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.

While the data paints a concerning picture of the Woodlynne School District, it also presents an opportunity for the district and school leaders to identify the root causes of the challenges and implement targeted interventions to improve student outcomes. By addressing the underlying issues, such as socioeconomic factors and resource allocation, the district can work towards providing a better educational experience for the students of Woodlynne Boro Public School.
