Summary:
The Southampton Township School District in New Jersey is home to two elementary schools, Southampton Township School #2 and Southampton Township School #1, which serve students from kindergarten through 6th grade. While the schools have similar performance metrics, they both face challenges in academic achievement and attendance.
Neither school stands out as a clear standout in the district, as both are ranked in the bottom half of New Jersey elementary schools, with Southampton Township School #2 ranking around 700 out of 1,300-1,400 schools in recent years. Both schools have high chronic absenteeism rates, with 16.6% of students chronically absent in the 2022-2023 school year. The schools' test scores in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science are generally below the state averages, though 5th-grade ELA scores at Southampton Township School #2 were above the state average in 2022-2023.
Despite the low student-teacher ratios, which are 9.6 and 10.2 respectively, the schools have not seen significant improvements in academic achievement. The relatively low percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, around 15% for both schools, may indicate that the schools are not serving a highly economically disadvantaged population, which could impact the overall performance and resource allocation. Overall, the data suggests that the Southampton Township School District has room for improvement in addressing the academic and attendance challenges faced by its elementary schools.
