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 245 out of 613 districts in New Jersey and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Montague Township School has some positive academic metrics, with English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency rates generally higher than the state average, particularly in the 6th and 7th grades. However, the school's Mathematics and Science proficiency rates are lower than the state average, especially in the upper grades. Additionally, the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 16.6% is higher than the state's target of 10% or less, which can negatively impact student learning and achievement.
The school serves a relatively high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with 32.26% of its students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. Despite the higher-than-average per-student spending and a low student-teacher ratio, the uneven academic performance suggests that the resources may not be optimally allocated or utilized to support student learning. The school and district should consider targeted interventions and resource allocation strategies to address these areas of concern and improve overall student outcomes.
