Summary:
The Paulsboro School District in New Jersey contains a single high school, Paulsboro High School, which serves grades 9-12. The data indicates that Paulsboro High School is a struggling school, consistently ranking in the bottom tier of New Jersey high schools over the past three years.
Paulsboro High School has a 91.3% four-year graduation rate, slightly below the state average, and a 1.0% dropout rate, which is relatively low. However, the school faces significant challenges, with a 14.9% chronic absenteeism rate that is higher than the state average. Academically, the school's performance on standardized tests is significantly below the state average across all subjects and grade levels, with only 9.3% of 9th-grade students proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to the state average of 49.9%.
The school serves a population with high levels of economic disadvantage, with 46.82% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. While the school's student-teacher ratio of 13.4 is relatively low, this alone does not appear to be enough to overcome the broader performance challenges faced by the school. Addressing these challenges will likely require a comprehensive, multi-faceted approach that addresses both academic and socioeconomic factors.
