Summary:
The city of Neptune City, New Jersey has only one school, Woodrow Wilson, which serves grades PK-8 with a total enrollment of 269 students. The school is part of the Neptune City School District, which is ranked 571 out of 609 districts in New Jersey and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Woodrow Wilson has consistently low performance on the NJSLA (New Jersey Student Learning Assessment) exams, with proficiency rates well below the state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the proficiency rates for Woodrow Wilson were as low as 0% in 7th grade Mathematics and 3.2% in 8th grade Science, compared to state averages ranging from 20.7% to 57.1%. The school also has a concerning chronic absenteeism rate of 14.9% and a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at 48.7%.
Despite the low academic performance and socioeconomic challenges, Woodrow Wilson has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 8.4 to 1, which suggests that students may have more individualized attention and support from their teachers. However, this metric alone does not guarantee high academic achievement, and the school and district should prioritize developing and implementing targeted strategies to address the significant issues and improve educational outcomes for the students.
