Summary:
The Alpha Borough School District in New Jersey has only one elementary school, Alpha Borough School, which serves students from grades K-8. The school's performance on standardized tests has been consistently below the state average, particularly in Mathematics, despite having a relatively low student-teacher ratio that may indicate smaller class sizes.
Alpha Borough School's statewide ranking has fluctuated in recent years, ranging from 736 out of 1,338 elementary schools in 2023-2024 to 834 out of 1,342 in 2022-2023. The school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics are generally lower than the state average across all grade levels. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's ELA proficiency rates ranged from 33.3% in 3rd grade to 62.5% in 7th grade, compared to the state average of 43.6% to 53.9% for those respective grades. In Mathematics, the school's proficiency rates ranged from 7.7% in 8th grade to 50.1% in 4th grade, compared to the state average of 19.4% to 47.6%.
The data also suggests that Alpha Borough School may be facing socioeconomic challenges, with a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (24.85% in 2022-2023). While the school's low student-teacher ratio of 6.9 to 1 could be a positive factor, it does not appear to be enough to overcome the academic performance issues. Additional data on other schools in the Alpha Borough School District would be needed to provide a more comprehensive analysis and identify potential areas for improvement.
