Summary:
The Farmingdale Public School District in New Jersey is home to a single elementary school, Farmingdale Elementary, which serves students from kindergarten through 8th grade. While the school has a relatively small student-teacher ratio, its academic performance has been inconsistent, with test scores generally below the state averages in both English Language Arts and Mathematics across all grade levels.
Farmingdale Elementary's statewide ranking has fluctuated between 724 and 842 out of 1,347 elementary schools in New Jersey, and it is rated 2 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger. The school's strongest performance is in 6th and 7th grade ELA, where the percentage of students proficient or better is above 60%, but in Mathematics, the school's best performance is in 5th grade, where 50% of students are proficient or better, still below the state average of 44.2%. Additionally, the school has a higher-than-average chronic absenteeism rate of 14.9%.
Despite the school's higher-than-average spending per student and smaller class sizes, its academic performance has not consistently translated into strong outcomes. The school's declining statewide ranking and inconsistent performance across grade levels and subject areas suggest that there is room for improvement in the Farmingdale Public School District to better support the educational needs of its students.
