Summary:
The Pennsville School District in New Jersey is home to a single high school, Pennsville Memorial High School, which serves grades 9-12. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of New Jersey high schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating it is struggling to provide a high-quality education to its students.
Pennsville Memorial 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 faces challenges, including a 14.9% chronic absenteeism rate, which is higher than the state average, and significantly lower test scores in subjects like English Language Arts, Algebra, Geometry, and Science compared to state averages. Despite spending $16,929 per student, which is higher than the state average, the school's academic performance remains poor.
The school's demographics may be a contributing factor, with 34.1% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively high percentage of students from low-income families. The school's leadership and the Pennsville School District may need to explore targeted interventions and strategies to address these issues and improve student outcomes at Pennsville Memorial High School.
