Summary:
The city of Dennisville, New Jersey has only one public school serving grades 3-8, the Dennis Township Elementary/Middle Schools. This school is part of the Dennis Township School District, which is ranked 471 out of 613 school districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.
The data shows that Dennis Township Elementary/Middle Schools is performing significantly below the state average in English Language Arts (ELA), math, and science proficiency across all grade levels. The school's ELA proficiency rates have also declined from 2022-2023 to 2023-2024, indicating a need for targeted interventions. However, the school's Algebra I proficiency rates are much higher than the state average, suggesting it may be doing a better job of preparing students for advanced math coursework. Despite higher-than-average spending per student and a lower student-teacher ratio, the school is still struggling to achieve strong academic outcomes, which may be related to the relatively high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (28.65%), a common indicator of economic disadvantage.
Overall, the data paints a picture of a school that is underperforming academically compared to state averages, particularly in core subject areas like ELA and math. The school's economic challenges and declining ELA proficiency rates are areas of concern that may require targeted interventions and support to improve student learning and achievement.
