Summary:
The Maywood School District in New Jersey consists of two schools: Maywood Avenue School, a middle school, and Memorial School, an elementary school. The district is ranked 219 out of 609 districts in New Jersey and is rated 3 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.
Maywood Avenue School stands out as a high-performing middle school, consistently ranking among the top in the state and significantly outperforming state averages on standardized tests. The school has received 4-5 out of 5 stars from SchoolDigger, indicating strong overall performance, and has a very low chronic absenteeism rate of 14.9%. In contrast, Memorial School, the district's elementary school, has performance metrics that are more in line with or slightly above state averages, though it has also received 4 out of 5 stars from SchoolDigger in recent years.
The data suggests that while Maywood Avenue School is providing a quality education and effectively supporting student learning, there may be a need for stronger early intervention and support at the elementary level to ensure students are well-prepared for the transition to middle school. Additionally, the higher per-student spending at Maywood Avenue School compared to Memorial School may indicate a need to examine the district's funding allocation and ensure equitable distribution of resources across all schools.
