Summary:
The 07827 zip code is home to a single elementary school, Montague Township School, which serves grades PK-8 with a total enrollment of 310 students. The school is part of the Montague Township School District, which is ranked 333 out of 615 districts in New Jersey and has a 2-star rating.
Montague Township School has a predominantly White student population (66.13%), with significant Hispanic (21.29%) and African American (5.16%) representation. The school's academic performance is mixed, with stronger proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA) compared to Mathematics and Science. While some grades perform above the state average in ELA, the school's Math and Science proficiency rates are generally below the state average. The school's chronic absenteeism rate of 9.9% is also a concern, and 32.26% of students receive free or reduced-price lunch, indicating the need to consider the impact of socioeconomic factors on student learning.
Despite the school's relatively high spending per student ($17,566) and a favorable student-teacher ratio of 9.3 to 1, there are opportunities for improvement, particularly in Math and Science instruction, as well as addressing chronic absenteeism and supporting students from diverse socioeconomic backgrounds. The school's diversity could be an asset, but it's important to ensure that all students are receiving equitable educational opportunities.
