Summary:
The Wood-Ridge School District has only one high school, Wood-Ridge Junior/Senior High School, which serves grades 7-12. The school's performance on standardized tests is mixed, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics generally lower than the state average. The school's Science proficiency rates are particularly concerning, with only 11% of 11th-grade students and 5.1% of 8th-grade students scoring proficient or better.
While the school's four-year graduation rate of 91.1% is slightly lower than the state average, its dropout rate of 1.2% is lower. However, the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 16.6% is higher than the state average, which could be a contributing factor to its academic performance challenges. The school's ranking and rating have fluctuated over the past few years, ranging from 167 out of 422 schools (3-star rating) in 2022-2023 to 254 out of 415 schools (2-star rating) in 2021-2022.
Overall, the analysis suggests that Wood-Ridge Junior/Senior High School may need to focus on improving its curriculum, teaching methods, and student support, particularly in the areas of Mathematics and Science. Additionally, addressing the school's chronic absenteeism rate could be a key factor in improving its academic performance and overall standing within the Wood-Ridge School District.
