Summary:
The Piscataway Township School District in New Jersey is home to 6 elementary schools serving students from kindergarten through 5th grade. The data analysis reveals a mix of high-performing and struggling schools within the district, with some standout performers and areas for improvement.
Knollwood Elementary School and Randolphville Elementary School are the top-performing elementary schools in the district, ranking 235th and 273rd respectively out of 1,338 New Jersey elementary schools. Both schools have received 4 out of 5 stars from SchoolDigger and have the highest proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics for 3rd-grade students, significantly outperforming the district and state averages. In contrast, Dwight D. Eisenhower Elementary School is struggling, with proficiency rates significantly below the district and state levels.
Martin Luther King Elementary School stands out as the school with the highest proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science for 4th and 5th-grade students, as well as the lowest chronic absenteeism rate (16.6%) among the schools in the data set. However, the district as a whole faces challenges with high chronic absenteeism rates across all schools, which may be impacting student learning and achievement. The data also suggests that while funding and resources play a role in academic performance, they are not the sole determinants, as the school with the lowest student-teacher ratio, Grandview Elementary School, does not have the highest test scores.
