Summary:
The Lyndhurst Public School District in New Jersey is home to 6 elementary schools serving grades K-5. The data reveals notable differences in performance and resource allocation among these schools, with Jefferson School standing out as the highest-performing and best-resourced school in the district.
Jefferson School is ranked 618 out of 1,338 New Jersey elementary schools, the highest ranking among the Lyndhurst schools, and is rated 3 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger, the highest rating in the district. The school outperforms the district and state averages in English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency for grades 3-5 and has the lowest student-teacher ratio in the district at 10.7. In contrast, the district's performance on the NJSLA assessments is mixed compared to the state averages, with some schools underperforming in key areas like 3rd grade Math.
Another standout is Washington School, which has the lowest student-teacher ratio in the district at 10.0 and spends the most per student at $8,777, significantly higher than the district average of $7,488. However, the district as a whole faces challenges, including a consistently high chronic absenteeism rate of 16.6% across all schools, which is higher than the state average. Addressing these disparities and improving academic outcomes could help the Lyndhurst Public School District provide more equitable educational opportunities for all students.
