Summary:
There is only one elementary school located in the Atlantic Community Charter School district in Galloway, New Jersey - Atlantic Community Charter School. This public charter school serves grades K-8 with a total enrollment of 330 students.
Atlantic Community Charter School has consistently ranked in the bottom 10% of New Jersey elementary schools over the past 3 school years, with a statewide ranking of 1271 out of 1338 in 2023-2024, 1195 out of 1342 in 2022-2023, and 1279 out of 1345 in 2021-2022. The school's test scores are well below state averages across all grade levels and subject areas, with only 2.8% of 3rd graders proficient or better in English Language Arts compared to the state average of 43.6%. Additionally, the school has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 16.6%, significantly higher than the state average.
Despite spending slightly more per student than the state average at $10,242 in 2018-2019, and having a lower student-teacher ratio of 9.1 in 2022-2023, Atlantic Community Charter School continues to struggle academically. This may be due in part to the high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with 93.33% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in 2022-2023. Addressing the school's performance challenges will likely require a comprehensive approach targeting instructional quality, resource allocation, and support for the high-poverty student population.
