Summary:
The city of Sewaren, New Jersey has only one school, Matthew Jago Elementary School, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. The school's academic performance and overall quality raise concerns, as it significantly lags behind the Woodbridge Township School District and the state of New Jersey in key metrics.
Matthew Jago Elementary School's proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science are well below district and state averages, ranging from 21.9% to 35.5% in ELA and 22.3% to 28.8% in Math, compared to the district's 45.9%-50% and 41.4%-48.9%, and the state's 42%-53.2% and 40.1%-45.9%, respectively. Additionally, the school has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 20.7%, which can further hinder academic progress. Socioeconomic challenges are also evident, with nearly 39% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.
The school's overall performance is reflected in its low ranking of 1043 out of 1342 New Jersey elementary schools and a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. These findings suggest that Matthew Jago Elementary School is struggling to meet the academic needs of its students and may require significant interventions and support from the Woodbridge Township School District and the community to improve student outcomes.
