Summary:
The Northfield City School District has only one elementary school, Northfield Community Elementary School, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 4th grade. The school has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past few years, dropping from 359th out of 1,345 New Jersey elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 573rd out of 1,338 in 2023-2024.
Northfield Community Elementary School's performance on NJSLA (New Jersey Student Learning Assessment) tests has been mixed, with 3rd-grade proficiency rates in both English Language Arts (53.4%) and Mathematics (58%) above the state averages, but its 4th-grade proficiency rates below the state averages. In 2022-2023, the school's 4th-grade proficiency rates in both English Language Arts (70.2%) and Mathematics (55.2%) were significantly higher than the state averages.
The school has a relatively low percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients at 25.78% in 2022-2023, suggesting it may serve a relatively affluent student population. However, the school's student-teacher ratio of 11.1 to 1 is lower than the state average, which could be a positive factor in providing more individualized attention and support to students.
