Summary:
Montague, New Jersey is home to a single elementary school, the Montague Township School, which serves grades PK-8 with a total enrollment of 308 students. The school is part of the Montague Township School District, which is ranked 309 out of 609 districts in New Jersey and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.
The Montague Township School has a chronic absenteeism rate of 14.9%, which is higher than the state average. Its English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency rates are generally lower than the state average, except in grades 6-8 where they are higher. In mathematics, the school's proficiency rates are mixed, with some grades performing above the state average and others well below. Notably, the school's 8th grade math proficiency rate of 51.8% is more than double the state average of 20.7%. However, the school's science proficiency rates in 5th and 8th grade are significantly below the state averages.
Despite these challenges, the Montague Township School appears to have some strengths, particularly in the upper elementary and middle school grades. The school also has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 8.2, suggesting smaller class sizes that could be leveraged to support student learning. Addressing the achievement gaps in the lower elementary grades and the high chronic absenteeism rate could be priorities for the school as it works to improve overall student outcomes.
