Summary:
The 08201 zip code area in New Jersey is home to two public schools, H Ashton Marsh Elementary School and Emma C Attales Middle School, both part of the Absecon Public Schools District. While the schools serve a diverse student population, their academic performance is generally below state and district averages, particularly in mathematics.
H Ashton Marsh Elementary School and Emma C Attales Middle School both have a mix of White, African American, and Hispanic students, with around 50% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. However, their academic proficiency rates lag behind, with H Ashton Marsh's 3rd and 4th-grade students scoring below 45% in English Language Arts and below 40% in Math. Emma C Attales' performance is slightly better, with 5th-8th-grade students scoring between 43-54% in ELA and 21-39% in Math, but still falling short of state and district averages.
Other areas of concern include high chronic absenteeism rates, particularly at H Ashton Marsh (18.3%), and lower-than-average spending per student. While the student-teacher ratios are relatively low, this does not appear to be translating into stronger academic results. Overall, the data suggests that the schools in this zip code area face challenges in terms of student engagement, resource allocation, and academic achievement, and may require targeted interventions to improve educational outcomes for the community.
