Tuckerton Borough School District

The Tuckerton Borough School District in New Jersey consists of a single school, Tuckerton Elementary School, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 6th grade. Based on the available data, Tuckerton Elementary School appears to be an underperforming school within the state, ranking 957 out of 1,338 New Jersey elementary schools for the 2023-2024 school year and receiving a low 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Academically, Tuckerton Elementary School struggles, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science significantly below the state averages across all grade levels. For example, the school's 3rd grade proficiency rate in ELA was 35.9% compared to the state average of 43.6%, and the 5th grade proficiency rate in Science was just 17.2% compared to the state average of 27.5%. Additionally, the school has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 16.6%, which could be contributing to the academic challenges.

Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending of $13,791 and a low student-teacher ratio of 8.7, these resources do not appear to be translating into improved student outcomes. The school's socioeconomic challenges, with over 51% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, may be a contributing factor to the academic underperformance. Overall, Tuckerton Elementary School seems to be an area of concern within the Tuckerton Borough School District, and targeted interventions and support may be necessary to help improve student achievement and the overall quality of the school.
