Summary:
The city of Runnemede, New Jersey is home to 4 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school, all part of the Runnemede Public School District and the Black Horse Pike Regional School District. The data reveals a mix of strengths and areas for improvement across the district.
Grade Downing Elementary School stands out, with 3rd-grade test scores in English Language Arts and Mathematics exceeding district and state averages, despite a steady decline in its statewide ranking. In contrast, Triton Regional High School struggles with low test scores, particularly in Algebra I, where only 8.2% of students were proficient or better, compared to 38.2% statewide. However, the high school maintains a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 91.3% and a low dropout rate of 1.0%.
Across the district, schools generally perform below state averages in both English Language Arts and Mathematics. The data also reveals significant percentages of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 32.19% at Mary E. Volz Elementary School to 40.11% at Aline Bingham Elementary School. This suggests the schools may be serving a population with significant socioeconomic challenges, which could be a contributing factor to the overall lower academic performance observed in the data.
