Summary:
The 08045 zip code is home to a single elementary school, Lawnside School District, which serves grades PK-8 with a total enrollment of 324 students. While this school has consistently ranked in the bottom 10-15% of New Jersey elementary schools over the past three years, it faces significant challenges in academic achievement, with test scores well below state averages across all grade levels and subject areas.
Lawnside School District's performance has been relatively consistent, with a 1-star rating out of 5 from SchoolDigger. The school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science are significantly lower than the state averages, with the highest proficiency rate being 31.3% in 6th grade English Language Arts, compared to the state average of 53.2%. Additionally, the school has a higher chronic absenteeism rate of 16.6%, which could be a contributing factor to the low academic performance.
While the school serves a relatively high percentage of economically disadvantaged students at 39.51%, its per-student spending and student-teacher ratio are above the state averages. This suggests that additional resources may not be the sole solution to improving the school's performance, and a more comprehensive approach addressing both academic and non-academic factors may be necessary to support student learning and achievement at Lawnside School District.
