Moonachie School District

Summary:

The Moonachie School District is a small district in New Jersey, consisting of a single elementary school, Robert L. Craig School, which serves grades PK-8 with a total enrollment of 360 students.

Robert L. Craig School is a standout institution within the district, consistently performing well above state averages on NJSLA (New Jersey Student Learning Assessment) tests in both English Language Arts and Mathematics. The school's 4-star rating from SchoolDigger, which places it in the top 176 out of 609 school districts in New Jersey, is a strong indicator of its quality. Additionally, the school's low student-teacher ratio of 10:1 suggests a focus on individualized attention and support for students.

While the school serves a significant population of economically disadvantaged students, with over 56% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, it has been able to maintain its academic excellence. The school's per-student spending of $16,011 for the 2018-2019 school year is higher than the state average, suggesting a strong investment in resources and support for students. However, the school's slightly higher chronic absenteeism rate of 14.9% for the 2023-2024 school year and lower proficiency rates in science and 8th grade mathematics are areas that could be targeted for improvement.
