Summary:
The Bloomsbury Borough School District in New Jersey has only one elementary school, Bloomsbury Borough School, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 8th grade. The school's academic performance has been inconsistent, with its statewide ranking fluctuating between 521 out of 1,342 elementary schools in 2022-2023 and 827 out of 1,338 in 2023-2024, earning 3-star and 2-star ratings, respectively.
Bloomsbury Borough School's performance on standardized tests has been mixed, with some grades performing above the state average in certain subjects, while others fall significantly below. The school's 5th-grade math and science proficiency rates were notably lower than the state averages in 2023-2024. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, indicating that it may be serving a population with significant socioeconomic challenges, which could impact student learning and achievement.
Despite the district's apparent investment in the school, with a low student-teacher ratio and relatively high per-student spending, the school's academic performance and high chronic absenteeism rate of 16.6% in 2022-2023 suggest that further analysis and targeted interventions may be necessary to address these issues and improve student outcomes at Bloomsbury Borough School.
