Jackson Township School District


Summary:

The Jackson Township School District in New Jersey consists of 10 schools, including 6 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 2 high schools. The district faces some challenges, with many schools performing below state averages in academic areas like English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. However, a few standout schools, such as Carl W. Goetz Middle School and Elms Elementary School, have consistently ranked in the top half of New Jersey schools and outperformed the district and state on test scores.

The data reveals significant disparities in academic performance between the district's schools. While some schools, like Carl W.

The district also faces challenges with high rates of chronic absenteeism across all schools, which can negatively impact academic achievement.

The data does not show a clear correlation between per-student spending and academic performance, suggesting that addressing the district's challenges will require a comprehensive, district-wide approach. Overall, the Jackson Township School District faces significant hurdles, but there are also some bright spots, like the strong performance of Carl W. Goetz Middle School and Elms Elementary School, that provide a foundation for improvement.
