Summary:
The Lakewood Township School District in New Jersey operates 8 schools, including 6 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school, serving a predominantly low-income student population. While the district faces significant challenges, with low academic performance and high poverty levels, there is some variation in school-level performance, with a few standout schools.
Lakewood High School has the highest enrollment in the district with 1,330 students and a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 91.3%, but its test scores are significantly below the state average. In contrast, Ella G Clarke Elementary School has the highest ELA proficiency rates among the elementary schools, and Lakewood Early Childhood Center has the highest per-student spending and the lowest student-teacher ratio in the district.
Overall, the Lakewood Township School District faces significant challenges, with low academic performance, high poverty levels, and uneven resource allocation across schools. Addressing these issues will be critical for improving outcomes for the district's students.
