Summary:
The 08049 zip code is home to a single elementary school, Magnolia, which serves grades PK-8 with 388 students. Magnolia is part of the Magnolia School District, which is ranked 446 out of 613 districts in New Jersey and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Magnolia's academic performance, as measured by standardized test scores, is generally below the state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. The school's English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency rates range from 35.5% to 85.3%, while mathematics proficiency rates range from 8.7% to 44.1%. Science proficiency rates are particularly low, with only 9.8% of 5th graders and 2% of 8th graders scoring proficient or better. Additionally, the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 16.6% is higher than the state average, which may be contributing to the low academic performance.
Despite the low academic performance, Magnolia has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 9.6 to 1 and spends $15,707 per student. However, the high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (41.24%) indicates that the school serves a socioeconomically disadvantaged population, which may present additional challenges in terms of student learning and achievement. Overall, the data suggests that Magnolia Elementary School is facing significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to its students, and addressing these issues should be a top priority for the school and district.
