Summary:
The 07851 zip code is home to a single elementary school, Sandyston Walpack Consolidated School, which serves grades K-6 with a total enrollment of 120 students. The school is part of the Sandyston-Walpack Consolidated School District, which is ranked 395 out of 615 districts in New Jersey and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Sandyston Walpack Consolidated School has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past three years, dropping from 582nd out of 1,317 New Jersey elementary schools in 2020-2021 to 737th out of 1,342 in 2022-2023. Its SchoolDigger rating has also decreased from 3 stars to 2 stars during this period. The school's academic performance is mixed, with 5th-grade English Language Arts proficiency exceeding the state average but Mathematics proficiency rates falling below state averages across all grade levels. The school's spending per student of $17,437 is relatively high, but this does not seem to be translating into consistently strong academic performance.
Despite the small size of the school, with only 120 students, the high student-teacher ratio of 8.1 to 1 suggests that the school may have the resources to provide personalized attention to its students. However, the school's high chronic absenteeism rate of 11.8% in the 2021-2022 school year, which is higher than the state average, is a concern that may be impacting student learning and academic outcomes.
