Summary:
The Saddle Brook, New Jersey school district consists of 4 schools - 3 elementary schools and 1 combined middle/high school. The data reveals a mix of performance, with Salome H. Long Memorial School standing out as the top-performing school in the district, while the other elementary schools, Helen I. Smith School and Franklin School, have significantly lower proficiency rates, particularly in the lower grade levels.
The Saddle Brook Middle/High School is a bright spot, with the highest graduation rate and lowest dropout rate among the schools. It also has relatively strong test scores, often exceeding the district and state averages, especially in the higher grade levels. However, the district as a whole faces challenges, such as a high chronic absenteeism rate of 16.6% across all schools and variations in per-student spending, which may indicate a need for more equitable resource allocation.
Overall, the Saddle Brook School District has a mix of high-performing and lower-performing schools, with the Salome H. Long Memorial School and Saddle Brook Middle/High School standing out as the district's strengths. The district will need to address the achievement gap between the elementary schools and ensure consistent quality of education across all grade levels.
