Summary:
The Farmingdale Public School District in New Jersey consists of a single school, Farmingdale Elementary, which serves students from preschool through 8th grade. The school's academic performance has been inconsistent, with strengths in certain grade levels and subjects, but also struggles in others.
Farmingdale Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom half of New Jersey elementary schools, with a ranking of 842 out of 1,347 in the 2024-2025 school year and 724 out of 1,338 in the 2023-2024 school year. The school's performance on the NJSLA (New Jersey Student Learning Assessments) is mixed, with the school performing above the state average in some grade levels and subjects, such as 5th-8th grade English Language Arts and 5th and 8th grade Science, but struggling in others, particularly in lower-grade Mathematics.
Despite the school's moderate free and reduced-price lunch rate of 16.37%, indicating a moderate level of economic disadvantage among its student population, the school's per-student spending for the 2018-2019 school year was $15,141, which is higher than the state average. This suggests that the district is allocating resources to support the needs of its economically disadvantaged students. However, the school's overall academic performance, which is below the state average in many areas, indicates that additional targeted interventions and support may be necessary to improve student outcomes.
