Summary:
The city of West Creek, New Jersey has only one public elementary school, Eagleswood Elementary School, which serves grades PK-6 and has a total enrollment of 150 students. The school is part of the Eagleswood Township School District, which is ranked 489 out of 609 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Eagleswood Elementary School's performance on standardized tests is generally below the state averages, particularly in English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics. The school's proficiency rates range from 16.7% to 41.2% in ELA, compared to the state averages of 44.9% to 56.1%, and from 20% to 41.2% in Mathematics, compared to the state averages of 39.8% to 49.8%. However, the school's 5th-grade Science proficiency rate of 41.6% is higher than the state average of 30.1%.
The school's chronic absenteeism rate of 14.9% is relatively high, which may be a contributing factor to the lower test scores. Additionally, 30% of Eagleswood Elementary School students are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating that a significant portion of the student population comes from economically disadvantaged backgrounds. The school's high spending per student ($16,244) and low student-teacher ratio (9.6:1) suggest that the district is investing resources in the school, but these inputs do not seem to be translating into higher academic outcomes based on the available data.
