Summary:
The Mount Arlington Public School District consists of two schools: Mount Arlington Public School, a middle school, and Edith M. Decker Elementary School. Based on the available data, Mount Arlington Public School stands out as the higher-performing school in the district, with consistently strong test scores, particularly in English Language Arts, and a relatively low chronic absenteeism rate.
Mount Arlington Public School outperforms the state average in most grade levels and subject areas, with over 80% of 6th, 7th, and 8th-grade students proficient in English Language Arts. The school's Mathematics performance is more mixed, with some grades scoring above the state average and others below. In contrast, Edith M. Decker Elementary School has a higher spending per student and a lower student-teacher ratio, which may indicate a focus on providing more resources and individualized attention at the elementary level.
Both schools have slightly higher chronic absenteeism rates than the district average, suggesting attendance could be an area for improvement across the district. The free/reduced lunch rates at both schools, while not extremely high, indicate the presence of some economically disadvantaged students who may require additional support and resources. Overall, the data suggests that Mount Arlington Public School is a strong performer within the district, while Edith M. Decker Elementary School may have room for improvement in certain areas.
