Summary:
The city of Woodbridge, New Jersey is home to 5 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 2 high schools. The data reveals a mix of high-performing and struggling schools within the Woodbridge Township School District, which is ranked 377th out of 613 districts in New Jersey and has a 2-star rating.
The standout schools in the data set are Woodbridge Academy Magnet School, a high school ranked 21st out of 426 in the state with exceptional test scores and a 91.1% four-year graduation rate, and Mawbey Street Elementary School, which is ranked 498th out of 1,338 elementary schools in New Jersey and has significantly higher test scores than the district and state averages. In contrast, the other schools in the data set struggle to meet state averages on many metrics.
The data suggests that socioeconomic factors may play a significant role in student outcomes, as the schools with higher free/reduced lunch rates, such as Ross Street Elementary School and Woodbridge Middle School, tend to have lower test scores and performance metrics. Additionally, the differences in per-student spending and student-teacher ratios across the schools indicate that resource allocation may not be equitable, with the higher-performing schools seeming to have more resources.
