Summary:
The Beverly City School District in Beverly, New Jersey, serves grades PK-8 and has a total enrollment of 334 students. As the only elementary school in the district, it faces significant challenges, with declining academic performance and large gaps in proficiency compared to state averages.
The school's chronic absenteeism rate of 14.9% is higher than the state average, and its test scores in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science are consistently lower than the state's, with the largest gaps in 3rd grade ELA and 8th grade Mathematics. Additionally, 55.09% of the students are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.
Despite the school's relatively small class sizes, with a student-teacher ratio of 9:1, the academic performance has declined over the past few years. The district may need to address these challenges through targeted interventions and support to improve student outcomes and close the achievement gaps.
