Summary:
The 08310 zip code area is home to 3 schools - 1 high school, 1 middle school, and 1 elementary school - all part of the Buena Regional School District. Unfortunately, the data shows these schools are struggling academically, with significantly lower test scores and proficiency rates compared to state averages.
The Buena Regional High School had a 91.1% four-year graduation rate in 2022-2023, slightly below the state average. However, only 31.3% of 9th graders were proficient in English Language Arts in 2023-2024, compared to the state average of 58.1%. The Buena Regional Middle School had particularly low math proficiency, with only 4.2% of 8th graders proficient in 2023-2024, compared to the state average of 19.4%. All three schools also had high rates of chronic absenteeism, around 16.6% in 2022-2023, well above the state average.
The data suggests the schools in the 08310 zip code area face significant challenges, including low academic performance, high rates of economic disadvantage, and chronic absenteeism. Addressing these issues will likely require a comprehensive, district-wide approach involving the school district, community stakeholders, and state-level support. Improving student outcomes in this area should be a top priority.
