Summary:
The Maple Shade School District in New Jersey is home to a single high school, Maple Shade High School. The school serves students in grades 9-12 and has a relatively low statewide ranking, fluctuating between 276 and 298 out of 422-434 high schools in recent years. With a 2 out of 5-star rating from SchoolDigger, Maple Shade High School appears to be a below-average performer compared to other schools in the state.
Maple Shade High School's key metrics paint a mixed picture. While the school has a relatively low 1.0% dropout rate and a student-teacher ratio slightly below the state average, its academic performance lags behind. Only 24.6% of 7th graders were proficient or better in English Language Arts, and just 11-22.1% of students were proficient in mathematics, well below the state averages. Additionally, the school's 14.9% chronic absenteeism rate is higher than the state norm.
The data suggests that Maple Shade High School faces significant challenges, including a high percentage of students (47.25%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a population with significant economic disadvantages. The school's per-student spending of $9,391 is also below the state average, which may contribute to its struggles to provide a high-quality education. While the school has some positive metrics, such as a low dropout rate, it will likely need to implement targeted strategies and interventions to improve student outcomes and move up in the statewide rankings.
