Summary:
Wildwood Crest, New Jersey is home to a single elementary school, Crest Memorial School, which serves grades PK-8 with a total enrollment of 220 students. The school is part of the Wildwood Crest Borough School District, which is ranked 387 out of 609 districts in New Jersey and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Crest Memorial School's academic performance, as measured by NJSLA proficiency rates, has been mixed, with some grade levels and subject areas performing better than others. The school's performance in Mathematics appears to be stronger than in English Language Arts and Science, with several grade levels exceeding the state averages. However, the school's overall academic performance lags behind the state averages, suggesting room for improvement. Additionally, the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 14.9% is higher than the state average, which could be a contributing factor to the school's academic performance.
With nearly 29% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, Crest Memorial School serves a population with a relatively high level of economic need. This socioeconomic factor may be influencing the school's academic performance, and the school's relatively high spending per student of $22,617 suggests that resources are being allocated to support the students, but the academic performance data indicates that these resources may not be translating into optimal student outcomes.
