Commercial Township School District

The Commercial Township School District in New Jersey consists of a single elementary school, Commercial Township School, which serves grades PK-8. The school faces significant academic challenges, with student performance consistently falling well below state averages in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science.

Commercial Township School has a student enrollment of 482 and a high rate of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch at 50.41%, indicating the school community faces socioeconomic challenges. The school's chronic absenteeism rate of 14.9% is also concerning, as high absenteeism is often linked to lower academic achievement. With a statewide ranking of 530 out of 609 schools and a 1 out of 5 star rating from SchoolDigger, Commercial Township School is clearly struggling to provide a high-quality education to its students.

The school's low spending per student of $9,500 in 2018-2019 may contribute to the academic performance issues, as limited resources can make it difficult to implement effective teaching strategies and support programs. Addressing the multifaceted challenges facing Commercial Township School will likely require a comprehensive, well-resourced approach to improve educational outcomes for the students in this community.
