With a total enrollment of 571 students, the school has consistently ranked in the bottom quarter of New Jersey elementary schools over the past three years, indicating significant academic challenges.
The school's overall performance, as measured by the SchoolDigger rating, is just 1 out of 5 stars.

Additionally, the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 14.9% is higher than the state average, which may contribute to its academic struggles.

These resource constraints may be impacting the school's ability to provide comprehensive educational support and services to its students. Addressing these challenges will likely require a multifaceted approach, including targeted interventions, additional resources, and a focus on improving teaching and learning outcomes.
