Summary:
The Somers Point School District in New Jersey consists of two elementary schools - Jordan Road Elementary School and Dawes Avenue Elementary School. Both schools are struggling academically, with low statewide rankings and significantly below-average proficiency rates on standardized tests compared to state averages.
Neither school stands out as a high performer, with both Jordan Road Elementary and Dawes Avenue Elementary receiving a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. The schools also face challenges with high chronic absenteeism rates of 16.6% and a large percentage of students (around 59%) eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating significant socioeconomic challenges in the district.
While the student-teacher ratios are relatively low, with 9:1 at Jordan Road Elementary and 8.3:1 at Dawes Avenue Elementary, the overall academic performance of the schools suggests a need for further investigation and targeted interventions to address the underlying factors contributing to the low student outcomes in the Somers Point School District.
