Summary:
The Westampton Township Public School District in New Jersey operates two schools - Westampton Township Middle School and Holly Hills Elementary School. The district serves a population with significant economic challenges, as evidenced by the relatively high free/reduced lunch rates at both schools.
A standout strength of the district is the exceptional performance of Westampton Township Middle School students on Algebra I exams, with 94.5% of students scoring proficient or better, significantly higher than the state average of 38.2%. The middle school also excels in English Language Arts, with 68.6% of 7th graders scoring proficient or better on the NJSLA exam, compared to the state average of 57%. However, both schools generally perform below the state average on other NJSLA Math and Science exams, suggesting opportunities for improvement in core academic areas.
While the Westampton Township Public School District is ranked in the bottom half of districts in New Jersey and is rated 2 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger, the data indicates the district is allocating more resources to the middle school level, with slightly higher per-student spending and a lower student-teacher ratio compared to the elementary school. This may be an area to examine further to ensure equitable distribution of resources across the district and drive better outcomes for all students.
