Summary:
Elk Township School District in New Jersey has only one elementary school, Aura Elementary School, which serves students from grades 3 through 6. The school's performance has fluctuated over the past three years, with its statewide ranking ranging from 613 to 706 out of 1,338 to 1,345 New Jersey elementary schools, and its SchoolDigger rating varying between 2 and 3 stars out of 5.
Academically, Aura Elementary School has shown mixed results compared to the state average. While its English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency rates are above the state average in 5th and 6th grades, they are below the state average in 3rd and 4th grades. Similarly, the school's mathematics proficiency rates are above the state average in 4th grade but below the state average in 3rd, 5th, and 6th grades. However, the school's 5th-grade science proficiency rates are above the state average.
The school has a relatively high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch at 30.24%, which may indicate a population with lower socioeconomic status. However, the school's per-student spending of $13,054 and a low student-teacher ratio of 10.2 suggest that it has access to adequate resources and staffing. The school's chronic absenteeism rate of 16.6% is relatively high, which could be a factor impacting its academic performance.
