Summary:
The Frenchtown Borough School District in New Jersey is home to a single elementary school, Frenchtown Elementary, which serves grades PK-8 with a total enrollment of 104 students. While the school has some positive metrics, such as higher-than-average proficiency rates in English Language Arts for certain grade levels, it also faces several challenges that warrant further attention.
Frenchtown Elementary is ranked 580 out of 1,338 New Jersey elementary schools for the 2023-2024 school year, with a 3-star rating out of 5 from SchoolDigger. The school's ranking has declined over the past few years, and it has a higher-than-average chronic absenteeism rate of 16.6%. Academically, the school performs well in English Language Arts, but its Mathematics and Science proficiency rates are significantly lower than the state average, with only 18.2% of 6th graders and 9.1% of 7th graders scoring proficient or better in Mathematics, and a 5th-grade Science proficiency rate of 18.2% compared to the state average of 26.8%.
Despite the higher-than-average spending per student of $17,886 and a low student-teacher ratio of 7.1 to 1, the school's academic performance is not commensurate with the level of investment. This raises questions about the efficient use of resources and the need to evaluate the school's instructional practices and resource allocation. Overall, while Frenchtown Elementary has some positive attributes, it faces several challenges that require a comprehensive review and targeted strategies to address the identified areas of concern.
