Summary:
The Tuckerton Borough School District in New Jersey consists of a single public elementary school, Tuckerton Elementary School, serving grades PK-6 with a total enrollment of 303 students. The district as a whole is ranked 453 out of 609 school districts in the state and is rated 1 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger.
Tuckerton Elementary School has consistently performed below average, ranking in the bottom third of New Jersey elementary schools for the past three school years. The school's proficiency rates on the NJSLA standardized tests are generally lower than the state averages, ranging from 17% to 55.9% in various subject areas and grade levels, compared to the state averages of 39.8% to 56.1%. Additionally, the school has a higher-than-average chronic absenteeism rate of 14.9%, which may be contributing to the low academic performance.
Despite the school's higher-than-average spending per student of $13,791, and a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 8.6, Tuckerton Elementary School continues to struggle academically. This may be due in part to the high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with 50.5% of the student population eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. The school's leadership and the district may need to implement targeted interventions and strategies to address these challenges and improve student outcomes.
