Sandyston-Walpack Consolidated School District

Summary:

The Sandyston-Walpack Consolidated School District is a small school district in New Jersey, consisting of a single elementary school, Sandyston Walpack Consolidated School, which serves grades PK-6 with a total enrollment of 128 students.

Sandyston Walpack Consolidated School is a strong-performing school, with students generally scoring above the state average on NJSLA assessments in both English Language Arts and Mathematics. In the 2024-2025 school year, the school ranked 636 out of 1,347 New Jersey elementary schools, which is above the state median. For example, 69.2% of 6th-grade students at the school were proficient or better in NJSLA/English Language Arts, compared to the state average of 56.1%. However, the school's statewide ranking has declined over the past few years, which warrants further investigation.

While the school's academic performance is commendable, it faces some challenges. The school's chronic absenteeism rate of 14.9% in the 2023-2024 school year was higher than the state average, and the school district's spending per student of $17,437 in the 2018-2019 school year was significantly higher than the state average. These factors suggest opportunities for improvement in attendance and resource allocation to support student success.
