Elementary Schools in Andover Regional School District

Summary:

The Andover Regional School District in New Jersey is home to one exceptional elementary school, Florence M. Burd Elementary School. This school stands out as a top performer, ranking in the top 13% of all New Jersey elementary schools for the 2023-2024 academic year.

Florence M. Burd Elementary consistently maintains a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating its strong overall performance. The school's test scores in English Language Arts and Mathematics significantly exceed the state averages, with 3rd and 4th-grade proficiency rates surpassing the state by 15-20 percentage points. Additionally, the school's low student-teacher ratio of 9:1 suggests a high level of individual attention and support for its 255 students in grades PK-4.

While the school serves a relatively more affluent student population, with only 18.82% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, the district's significant investment of $14,461 per student reflects its commitment to providing quality education. However, the school's fluctuating statewide ranking, from 179 to 494 over the past few years, highlights the need for further analysis to understand the factors driving these performance trends and ensure continued excellence for all students.
