Summary:
The North Wildwood School District is a small district with only one school, Margaret Mace Elementary School, which serves grades PK-8 and has an enrollment of 165 students. The school's performance has fluctuated over the years, with a current ranking of 820 out of 1,347 New Jersey elementary schools and a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Academically, Margaret Mace Elementary School has proficiency rates in English Language Arts ranging from 28% to 55% across different grade levels, and in Mathematics, the proficiency rates range from 32% to 50%. The school's performance is generally on par with or slightly above the district average, but below the state average in most subject areas and grade levels. Additionally, the school has a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate of 14.9%, which could be a contributing factor to the lower academic performance.
Despite the school's challenges, it has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 5.6 and spends $26,141 per student, which suggests a focus on providing resources and support to the students. However, the academic performance suggests that these resources may not be effectively utilized. The school also serves a population with a high percentage of students (41.82%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a lower socioeconomic status that can impact educational outcomes.
