Summary

Bayview Elementary School is a public elementary school in Belford, New Jersey, serving 337 students in grades K-5. It is part of the Middletown Township Public School District, which is ranked 193 out of 609 districts in the state.

Bayview Elementary has shown mixed performance on standardized tests. While its 3rd-grade students outperformed the district and state in both English Language Arts and Mathematics, its 4th and 5th-grade students underperformed the district. The school has also experienced fluctuating chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 7.0% to 16.6% over the past few years, which is higher than the state's target of 5% or less. Interestingly, Bayview has a relatively low percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 12.31% to 13.78% over the past few years, which is lower than the state average.

Compared to nearby schools in the district, Bayview's performance is mixed. While it outperforms some schools, such as Ocean Avenue Elementary, it underperforms others, like Fairview Elementary and Navesink Elementary, which consistently rank higher in the state. Addressing the school's chronic absenteeism and learning from the practices of higher-performing nearby schools could help Bayview Elementary improve its overall performance and better serve its diverse student population.
