Summary:
The Sussex-Wantage Regional School District in New Jersey is home to two elementary schools: Clifton E. Lawrence and Wantage Elementary School. Both schools serve students from kindergarten through sixth grade and are part of the district, which is ranked 447 out of 609 school districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Based on the available data, neither Clifton E. Lawrence nor Wantage Elementary School appears to be a standout performer. Both schools have significantly higher chronic absenteeism rates (14.9%) compared to the state average, and they also perform well below the state average in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science proficiency on the NJSLA assessments. Additionally, a significant portion of the student population at both schools (26.29% at Clifton E. Lawrence and 27.4% at Wantage Elementary School) receives free or reduced-price lunch, indicating that the schools serve a population with lower socioeconomic status.
While the schools have relatively low student-teacher ratios (11.9 at Clifton E. Lawrence and 9.0 at Wantage Elementary School), this does not seem to translate into improved academic performance. The district's overall low ranking and the schools' poor performance on standardized tests suggest that the schools may be struggling to provide a quality education to their students. Addressing the underlying factors, such as resource allocation and instructional practices, may be necessary to improve the academic outcomes of these elementary schools within the Sussex-Wantage Regional School District.
