Summary:
The Folsom Borough School District in New Jersey consists of a single school, Folsom Elementary School, which serves students from kindergarten through 8th grade. The school's academic performance has been inconsistent, with test scores in English Language Arts and Mathematics generally below the state averages, though the school performs better than the state average in some areas like 4th and 6th grade ELA and Algebra I.
Folsom Elementary School has a chronic absenteeism rate of 14.9%, which is higher than the state average. Additionally, 24.27% of the school's students are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively high percentage of students from low-income families. The school district spent $12,563 per student in the 2018-2019 school year, and the school has a student-teacher ratio of 9.8.
While Folsom Elementary School is not a standout school in the state, the data suggests that the school's performance in science and mathematics, particularly in the upper grades, could be an area for improvement. The higher-than-average chronic absenteeism rate and the socioeconomic factors of the student population may also be contributing to the school's overall academic performance, which appears to be inconsistent across grade levels and subject areas.
