Elementary Schools in Byram Township School District

Summary:

The Byram Township School District has one elementary school, Byram Lakes Elementary School, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 4th grade. The school's performance has fluctuated in recent years, with its statewide ranking ranging from 599 to 679 out of 1,347 New Jersey elementary schools and its SchoolDigger performance rating varying between 2 and 3 stars out of 5.

Academically, Byram Lakes Elementary School has shown mixed results compared to the state average. While 4th-grade students have outperformed the state in both English Language Arts (ELA) and Math proficiency, 3rd-grade students have lagged behind the state averages in these subjects. The school's per-student spending was $13,821 in the 2018-2019 school year, and it has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 12.4 for the 2023-2024 school year. However, the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 14.9% in the 2023-2024 school year is worth monitoring, as high rates of chronic absenteeism can negatively impact student learning and academic outcomes.

Overall, Byram Lakes Elementary School appears to be the sole elementary school serving the Byram Township community. While the school has shown some strengths, such as higher-than-average 4th-grade proficiency rates, it also faces challenges, including lower 3rd-grade proficiency and a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate. Continued monitoring and targeted interventions may be necessary to ensure the school's performance remains consistent and meets the needs of all students.
