Summary:
Netcong School District in New Jersey is home to a single elementary school, Netcong Elementary School, which serves students from grades K-8. While the school has access to more resources than the state average, with higher per-student spending and a lower student-teacher ratio, its academic performance has been mixed compared to state benchmarks.
Netcong Elementary School's statewide ranking has declined over the past three years, from 644 out of 1,345 New Jersey elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 841 out of 1,338 in 2023-2024. The school's proficiency rates on standardized tests vary, with strengths in certain grade levels and subjects, but weaknesses in others. Additionally, the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 16.6% is higher than the state average, which could be a contributing factor to its academic performance.
Despite the school's challenges, it serves a population with a relatively high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch at 43.05%. This suggests that the school may be addressing the needs of a community with greater socioeconomic challenges. By focusing on improving attendance, addressing academic weaknesses, and effectively utilizing its available resources, Netcong School District can work to enhance the educational outcomes for the students at Netcong Elementary School.
