Summary:
The Keansburg School District in New Jersey contains only one high school, Keansburg High School, which serves grades 9-12. The data indicates that Keansburg High School is a consistently low-performing school, ranking among the bottom 10% of high schools in New Jersey over the past few years.
Keansburg High School has a 91.3% four-year graduation rate, slightly below the state average, and a 1.0% dropout rate, which is relatively low. However, the school struggles with a high chronic absenteeism rate of 14.9%, which is above the state average. Academically, the school's test scores are significantly below state averages across various subjects and grade levels, with only 24.1% of 9th-grade students proficient or better in NJSLA/English Language Arts, compared to the state average of 49.9%.
The school serves a population with a relatively high level of economic disadvantage, with 41.56% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. Despite the high spending per student of $15,844, the school's low academic performance suggests a need for a closer examination of how resources are being allocated to support student learning. Addressing the chronic absenteeism and improving academic achievement will likely be key focus areas for the Keansburg School District to improve the quality of education for its students.
