Summary:
The Alpha Borough School District consists of a single elementary school, Alpha Borough School, which serves grades PK-8. The school's performance, as measured by standardized test scores and other key metrics, is generally below the statewide averages, particularly in mathematics and science.
Alpha Borough School has an enrollment of 198 students and is ranked 825 out of 1,347 New Jersey elementary schools, with a 2-out-of-5-star rating from School Digger. The school's chronic absenteeism rate of 14.9% is higher than the state average, which may be contributing to the lower test scores. While the school's spending per student of $12,813 is higher than the state average, this does not seem to be translating into better academic performance.
The school's student-teacher ratio of 10.1 is relatively low, which could be an advantage in providing more individualized attention to students. However, the school's free/reduced lunch rate of 37.88% suggests that a significant portion of the student population comes from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, which may present additional challenges in terms of academic achievement.
