Elementary Schools in Deal Boro School District

The Deal Boro School District in New Jersey contains a single elementary school, Deal Elementary School, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 8th grade. The school appears to serve a relatively affluent community, with a low percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch.

Deal Elementary School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of New Jersey elementary schools, with a 2-out-of-5-star rating from SchoolDigger. While the school excels in English Language Arts, particularly in the upper grades, its performance in Mathematics and Science is significantly below the state average. This uneven academic performance suggests the school may need to focus on improving its math and science instruction and curriculum.

Despite the school's low academic ranking, it benefits from significant resources, with per-student spending well above the state average and a very low student-teacher ratio. However, the school's high chronic absenteeism rate of 14.9% may be a contributing factor to its overall academic performance, and addressing attendance issues could be an area for improvement.
