Summary

Clara B. Worth Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-4 in Bayville, New Jersey, part of the Berkeley Township School District. With 686 students, the school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of New Jersey elementary schools over the past decade, with student performance on state assessments generally below state and district averages.

The school faces several challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates and achievement gaps among student subgroups. While male students and Hispanic students perform relatively well, white students and students with low socioeconomic status lag behind. Interestingly, the school's special education students perform better than the overall student body. Nearby schools in the Berkeley Township district have similar performance profiles, suggesting the overall quality of education in the district may be a contributing factor.

Compared to some higher-performing schools outside the district, such as Island Heights Elementary School and Lanoka Harbor Elementary School, Clara B. Worth Elementary School's per-student spending and student-teacher ratio are on par, indicating that resource allocation may not be the primary driver of its performance. The school may benefit from targeted interventions and support to improve student outcomes and address the persistent achievement gaps.
