Summary:
The Rockaway Township School District in New Jersey is home to 5 elementary schools serving students from grades K-5. These schools demonstrate a range of performance, with some standouts and areas for improvement across the district.
Stony Brook Elementary School is a consistent top performer, ranking among the top 20-25% of elementary schools in New Jersey over the past 3 years. It excels in math proficiency, has the lowest chronic absenteeism rate, and spends the least per student compared to the other schools in the district. In contrast, Birchwood Elementary School stands out for its impressive English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency, with 3rd and 4th grade students scoring significantly higher than the district and state averages.
While the schools generally perform better than the state and district averages in both ELA and Math proficiency, there are some areas for improvement. The district-wide chronic absenteeism rate of 16.6% is higher than the state average, and schools like Dennis B O'Brien Elementary School and Katharine D Malone Elementary School show lower proficiency rates in certain subject areas compared to their peers. These findings suggest opportunities for targeted interventions and support to ensure all students in the Rockaway Township School District receive a high-quality education.
