Summary:
The city of Beverly, New Jersey is home to a single elementary school, the Beverly City School District, which serves grades PK-8 with a total enrollment of 334 students. The school district is ranked 436 out of 609 districts in New Jersey and is rated 1 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger.
The Beverly City School District faces significant academic challenges, with consistently low proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science compared to the state average. In the 2024-2025 school year, ELA proficiency ranged from 20% in 3rd grade to 58.8% in 8th grade, while Mathematics proficiency ranged from 24.3% in 4th grade to 41.2% in 8th grade. Science proficiency was particularly low, at 11.5% for 5th grade and 11.8% for 8th grade. Additionally, the school district has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 14.9% and a high percentage of students (55.09%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high-poverty population.
Despite the school district's higher-than-average spending of $14,330 per student and a low student-teacher ratio of 9:1, these resources do not appear to translate into better academic outcomes for the students. The data suggests that the Beverly City School District requires targeted interventions and support to address the underlying challenges and improve the educational experience for its students.
