Summary:
The National Park Boro School District in New Jersey consists of a single elementary school, National Park School, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 6th grade. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of New Jersey elementary schools, with below-average performance on standardized tests in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science.
National Park School faces significant challenges, with a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch at 51.57% in the 2023-2024 school year. While the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 9.1 to 1, this has not translated into improved academic outcomes. In the 2024-2025 school year, the school's proficiency rates ranged from 14.3% to 48.6% in English Language Arts and 29.7% to 42.9% in Mathematics, compared to the state averages of 44.9% to 56.1% and 39.8% to 49.8%, respectively. The school's 5th-grade science proficiency rate of 12.5% was also significantly lower than the state average of 30.1%.
Overall, the data suggests that the National Park School faces significant challenges in improving student learning outcomes and addressing the needs of its economically disadvantaged student population. Targeted interventions and support may be necessary to help the school improve its academic performance and provide a high-quality education for its students.
