Summary:
The Little Ferry Public School District in New Jersey has only one elementary school, Washington Elementary School, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 4th grade. The school's performance has been somewhat inconsistent, with fluctuating statewide rankings and mixed results on standardized tests compared to state averages.
Washington Elementary School's statewide ranking has ranged from 615 out of 1,338 New Jersey elementary schools in 2023-2024 to 808 out of 1,347 in 2024-2025. The school's proficiency rates on NJSLA tests have also varied, with 4th-grade English Language Arts proficiency exceeding the state average in 2023-2024, but 4th-grade Mathematics proficiency significantly lower than the state average in 2024-2025. The school serves a population with a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, at 35.67% in the 2023-2024 school year.
Despite the school's mixed academic performance, it does have a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 10.2, suggesting that students may benefit from more individualized attention and support. However, the limited data provided makes it difficult to draw definitive conclusions about the school's overall strengths and areas for improvement. Additional information, such as trends over time, teacher qualifications, and other school-level factors, would be necessary to gain a more comprehensive understanding of the school's performance and challenges.
