Summary:
The Southampton Township School District in New Jersey is home to two elementary schools, both serving students from kindergarten through 5th grade. While the schools share similarities in their chronic absenteeism rates and student-teacher ratios, there are notable differences in their free and reduced lunch percentages, per-student spending, and academic performance.
Southampton Township School #1 and Southampton Township School #2 both have a chronic absenteeism rate of 14.9%, which is relatively high compared to the state average. However, the free and reduced lunch rate at School #2 (20.29%) is significantly higher than the rate at School #1 (15.74%), indicating a larger population of economically disadvantaged students. Additionally, School #1 spends $12,867 per student, while School #2 spends $12,084 per student.
In terms of academic performance, School #2 has provided detailed test score data, which shows the school generally underperforming compared to the state average in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science assessments. Furthermore, the school's statewide ranking has been steadily declining over the past three school years, from 689 out of 1,342 schools in 2022-2023 to 823 out of 1,347 schools in 2024-2025. While both schools appear to be relatively average, the data suggests that School #2 may be facing greater challenges in supporting its students' academic success.
