Summary:
The city of Newfield, New Jersey has only one public elementary school, the Main Road School, which serves students from grades K-4. The school's performance has consistently ranked in the bottom third of New Jersey elementary schools over the past 3 years, scoring below state averages on the NJSLA assessments in both English Language Arts and Mathematics.
The Main Road School faces some challenges, including a higher-than-average rate of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at 22.96%, indicating a larger population of economically disadvantaged students. The school also has a chronic absenteeism rate of 16.6%, which is higher than the state's target of 10% or less. While the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 10.5 to 1, its per-student spending is below the state average, suggesting that resource allocation may be an area for improvement.
Overall, the analysis of the Main Road School data suggests that the school is facing challenges in terms of academic performance, student engagement, and potentially, socioeconomic factors. To address these issues, the Township of Franklin School District may need to implement targeted interventions, explore ways to increase student and family engagement, and ensure that resources are being allocated effectively to support student learning and success.
