Summary:
The Guttenberg School District in New Jersey contains a single elementary school, Anna L. Klein, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 8th grade. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom quarter of New Jersey elementary schools over the past three years, with significantly below-average performance on state assessments across all grade levels and subject areas.
Anna L. Klein has a high percentage of students (74.5%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a predominantly low-income student population. The school's per-student spending of $11,321 in 2018-2019 is not exceptionally high, raising questions about whether the available resources are being effectively utilized to support student learning and academic growth. Despite the small student population of 949 and a favorable student-teacher ratio of 10.9 to 1, the school's performance remains significantly below the state average, suggesting a need for a comprehensive review of the school's resources, instructional practices, and support systems.
Overall, the data indicates that Anna L. Klein is a struggling school that faces significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to its students. The consistently low performance, large achievement gaps, and high poverty rates suggest the need for immediate intervention and support to address the underlying issues and improve student outcomes.
