Summary

Switlik Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Jackson, New Jersey, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 864 students. The school is part of the Jackson Township School District, which is ranked 463 out of 609 districts in New Jersey and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Switlik Elementary School faces several challenges, including below-average academic performance on NJSLA tests across all grade levels and subjects. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the percentage of 3rd-grade students proficient or better in English Language Arts (ELA) was 24.6%, compared to the district average of 25.1% and the state average of 44.9%. The school's performance on NJSLA-S (Science) for 5th grade is also significantly lower than the state and district averages, with only 14.2% of students proficient or better. Additionally, Switlik Elementary School has experienced high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 14.9% to 23.2% over the past few years, which is notably higher than the state and district averages.

While Switlik Elementary School's academic performance is generally lower than the nearby Howard C. Johnson Elementary and Crawford-Rodriguez Elementary schools within the Jackson Township School District, it performs better than some schools outside the district, such as Lakehurst Elementary and Clifton Ave Grade School, which serve more economically disadvantaged populations. Addressing the challenges faced by Switlik Elementary School will be crucial for improving the educational outcomes for the students.
