Summary:
The 07077 zip code has only one school, Matthew Jago Elementary School, which serves grades PK-5 and is part of the Woodbridge Township School District. This public elementary school has consistently ranked in the bottom quarter of New Jersey elementary schools over the past three years, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's academic performance, as measured by standardized test scores, is generally below the district and state averages, and its chronic absenteeism rate is higher than the state average.
Matthew Jago Elementary School's per-student spending of $6,230 in 2018-2019 was lower than the state average, which may suggest that the school is not receiving adequate funding or resources to support student learning and achievement. However, the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 9.7, which could be a positive factor in providing more individualized attention and support for students. Unfortunately, this small class size does not seem to be translating into improved academic outcomes for the school.
The data also indicates that a significant proportion of students at Matthew Jago Elementary School, 38.93%, are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting that the school serves a population with significant socioeconomic challenges. This may be a contributing factor to the school's academic performance issues, and further investigation into the school's resource allocation, instructional practices, and support for students from disadvantaged backgrounds may be warranted to identify opportunities for improvement.
