Summary:

The Elk Township School District in New Jersey consists of a single school, Aura Elementary School, which serves students from kindergarten through 6th grade. While the school's performance has fluctuated in recent years, it appears to be facing some challenges, particularly in mathematics proficiency, where its scores are significantly lower than the state average.

Aura Elementary School's statewide ranking has ranged from 662 out of 1,347 New Jersey elementary schools in 2024-2025 to 613 out of 1,338 in 2023-2024, and 713 out of 1,342 in 2022-2023, indicating inconsistent performance. The school's proficiency rates on NJSLA tests vary across grade levels and subject areas, with the 3rd grade mathematics proficiency rate at just 26.2% in 2024-2025, compared to the state average of 49.8%. This suggests that the school may need to focus on improving its mathematics instruction and curriculum.

Additionally, the school has a relatively high percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, at 26.8% in 2023-2024, which may be a contributing factor to its academic performance. The school's per-student spending of $13,054 for the 2018-2019 school year is higher than the state average, but it's unclear how these resources are being utilized to support student learning and achievement. Overall, the data indicates that Aura Elementary School is facing some challenges and may need to address areas of underperformance to improve student outcomes.
