Summary:
The city of Teaneck, New Jersey is home to 9 schools, including 6 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 1 high school. The schools in this district show a mix of strong and weak performance, with the Teaneck Community Charter School standing out as a high-performing outlier. The two Thomas Jefferson Middle School and Benjamin Franklin Middle School also demonstrate strong academic performance, often exceeding district and state averages, especially in English Language Arts.
While Teaneck High School has a relatively high 91.1% four-year graduation rate and a low 1.2% dropout rate, its test scores are below the state average but above the district average in many areas. The district as a whole faces challenges with a high 16.6% chronic absenteeism rate across all schools, which likely contributes to the varying academic performance.
The data also highlights potential inequities in resource allocation, with a wide range in spending per student and student-teacher ratios across the Teaneck School District. Addressing attendance, resource allocation, and equity issues could be key focus areas for the district to improve student outcomes and ensure all students in the Teaneck Community Charter School and traditional public schools have access to a quality education.
