Summary:

The city of Stone Harbor, New Jersey has only one school, Stone Harbor Elementary School, which serves grades K-4 and has a total enrollment of 78 students. The school is part of the Stone Harbor School District, which is ranked 224 out of 609 districts in New Jersey and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Stone Harbor Elementary School stands out for its exceptionally high ELA proficiency rates, with 87.6% of 3rd graders and 73.7% of 4th graders scoring proficient or better on the NJSLA ELA assessment in 2024-2025, significantly outperforming the state averages. However, the school's math proficiency rates are more average, with 3rd and 4th grade students scoring around 50% and 42% proficient or better in 2024-2025, suggesting a potential area for improvement. Additionally, the school's test scores have shown a decline from 2023-2024 to 2024-2025, which could be a concern that the school and district should investigate further.

At $19,958 per student (2018-2019), Stone Harbor Elementary spends significantly more than the state average, and its small size with only 78 students and a low student-teacher ratio of 8:1 may be contributing factors to its academic success. Overall, the school's strong ELA performance, average math proficiency, high spending, and declining test scores over time are notable characteristics that warrant further exploration.
