Summary:
The city of Wildwood, New Jersey is home to 3 schools serving students from elementary through high school: Glenwood Avenue Elementary School, Wildwood High School, and Wildwood Middle School. These schools, which are part of the Wildwood City School District, face significant challenges, with all three schools performing well below state averages on a variety of key metrics.
Among the standout findings, Glenwood Avenue Elementary School has the lowest statewide ranking and rating, with very low proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics, a high chronic absenteeism rate, and an extremely high free/reduced lunch rate. Wildwood High School has the highest ranking and rating among the three schools, though it is still in the bottom 25% of New Jersey high schools, with proficiency rates below state averages. Wildwood Middle School has the second-lowest statewide ranking and rating, with extremely low proficiency rates, a high chronic absenteeism rate, and a very high free/reduced lunch rate.
Across the district, the schools face systemic challenges, with consistently low test scores, high rates of poverty, and alarmingly high chronic absenteeism. Addressing these issues will be crucial for improving educational outcomes for the students in the Wildwood City School District.
