Summary:
The National Park Boro School District in New Jersey has only one elementary school, National Park School, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 6th grade. The school has consistently underperformed compared to the state average, ranking in the bottom quarter of New Jersey elementary schools for the past three years.
National Park School's academic performance is significantly below the state average across multiple subject areas. In the 2023-2024 school year, only 20% of 3rd-grade students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to the state average of 43.6%. In Mathematics, 35% of 3rd-grade students were proficient or better, compared to the state average of 47.6%. The school's performance in Science is particularly low, with only 10.8% of 5th-grade students proficient or better, compared to the state average of 27.5%.
Despite the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio of 9.6 to 1 and higher-than-average per-student spending of $14,129 in the 2018-2019 school year, the academic performance of the students remains poor. This suggests that the school may not be effectively allocating its resources to address the specific needs of its student population, which has a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch at 44.67% in the 2022-2023 school year.
