While Maurice River Township School has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 10.3 to 1, its academic performance is a concern.

Additionally, the school has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 30.9%, which can negatively impact student learning. Nearly 40% of the school's students receive free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

Overall, the data suggests that Maurice River Township School faces significant challenges in providing effective instruction and support for its students. While the school's small class sizes and low student-teacher ratio could be assets, the school's poor academic performance and high chronic absenteeism rates indicate that there is room for improvement. Addressing these issues could be crucial for improving the educational outcomes for the students served by this school.
