Summary:
The city of Netcong, New Jersey has only one school, Netcong Elementary School, which serves grades PK-8 and has a total enrollment of 295 students. The school is part of the Netcong School District, which is ranked 386 out of 613 school districts in New Jersey and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Netcong Elementary School's performance is mixed compared to state averages. The school has a higher-than-average chronic absenteeism rate of 16.6% and a higher-than-average rate of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch at 43.05%. On standardized tests, the school's English Language Arts (ELA) and mathematics proficiency rates are generally lower than the state averages, with some exceptions in 5th, 7th, and 3rd grades, respectively. The school's science proficiency rates are also lower than the state averages for both 5th and 8th grades.
Despite these academic performance challenges, Netcong Elementary School has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 9.2, which is lower than the state average. Additionally, the school spends $12,749 per student, which is higher than the state average. These factors suggest that the school may have the resources to provide more individualized attention and support for its students, but the academic outcomes do not yet reflect a significant return on that investment.
