Summary:
The 08070 zip code area in Pennsville, New Jersey is home to 5 schools that serve students from elementary through high school, all part of the Pennsville School District. While the district generally underperforms state averages on standardized tests, a few schools stand out - Penn Beach Elementary has the highest proficiency rates in English Language Arts, and Central Park Elementary has a low student-teacher ratio and strong 3rd-grade math performance.
Across the district, graduation rates at Pennsville Memorial High School are relatively high at 91.1%, and dropout rates are low at 1.2%. However, chronic absenteeism is a concern, with all schools reporting rates above the state average. Additionally, the high school has a low statewide ranking, placing it in the bottom 25% of New Jersey high schools.
The data suggests that economic disadvantage may be a factor impacting academic performance, as the schools serve a population with high percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. While the overall district performance is low, the standout results at Penn Beach Elementary indicate that there may be effective practices or strategies at that school that could be replicated to improve outcomes across the Pennsville School District.
