Best Public Schools in Fort Dix, NJ

Summary:

The city of Fort Dix, New Jersey has only one school, Fort Dix Elementary School, which serves students from kindergarten through 6th grade. The school's performance has been inconsistent, with its statewide ranking fluctuating between 586 out of 1,342 elementary schools in 2022-2023 and 823 out of 1,338 in 2023-2024, and its SchoolDigger rating ranging from 2 to 3 stars out of 5 over the past few years.

Academically, Fort Dix Elementary School faces challenges, with its students generally performing below the Pemberton Township School District and state of New Jersey averages in English Language Arts and Science. In Mathematics, the school's performance is mixed, with some grades performing better than the district and state, while others are lower. The school's chronic absenteeism rate of 16.6% in 2022-2023 is also a concern.

Socioeconomic factors may play a role in the school's performance, as 41.82% of its students were eligible for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2022-2023 school year. Despite the relatively high spending per student of $14,204 in 2018-2019 and a favorable student-teacher ratio of 9.1 to 1, the school's academic data suggests that more targeted interventions and resource allocation may be needed to support student success.
