Summary:
The 08089 zip code in New Jersey is home to a single school, Waterford Elementary School, which serves students from kindergarten through 6th grade. While the school has a predominantly white student population, it also has a significant Hispanic student body, as well as smaller percentages of African American, Asian, and Native American students.
Academically, Waterford Elementary School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of New Jersey elementary schools, with a 2-star rating out of 5. The school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics are generally lower than the state averages, though there are some exceptions in 6th-grade ELA and Mathematics. Additionally, the school has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 22.8%, which may be contributing to its lower academic performance.
Despite these challenges, Waterford Elementary School has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 10.1 to 1, which could be a positive factor in providing more individualized attention and support for students. The school's per-student spending of $9,190 is in line with the state average, but it's unclear if this level of funding is adequate to address the school's needs and improve student outcomes. Overall, the data suggests that Waterford Township School District may need to implement targeted interventions and strategies to address the challenges faced by Waterford Elementary School and improve the academic performance of its students.
