Summary:
The city of Layton, New Jersey has only one school, the Sandyston Walpack Consolidated School, which serves grades PK-6 and has a total enrollment of 128 students. The school is part of the Sandyston-Walpack Consolidated School District, which is ranked 333 out of 609 districts in New Jersey and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Sandyston Walpack Consolidated School generally performs above the state average in English Language Arts (ELA) across grades 3-6, with proficiency rates ranging from 46.4% to 69.2%. However, the school's performance in Mathematics is more mixed, with proficiency rates ranging from 39.3% to 69.2% across grades 3-6, sometimes exceeding the state average and sometimes falling below. In Science (5th grade), the school's proficiency rate of 19% is significantly lower than the state average of 30.1%. Additionally, the school has a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate of 14.9% in the 2023-2024 school year.
On a positive note, the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 9.7, which could be a contributing factor to its consistent performance in ELA. However, the school's low science proficiency scores and uneven mathematics performance indicate areas for improvement. The school's chronic absenteeism rate is also a concern that may require further investigation and targeted interventions to address the underlying causes.
