Summary:
The Westville Boro Public School District in New Jersey consists of a single school, Parkview Elementary School, which serves students from kindergarten through 6th grade. The data reveals that Parkview Elementary has consistently underperformed compared to state averages on standardized tests, ranking in the bottom quarter of New Jersey elementary schools.
Parkview Elementary's academic performance is significantly below the state average in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the percentage of 3rd-grade students proficient or better in English Language Arts was 21.1%, compared to the state average of 44.9%. Similarly, the school's 5th-grade Science proficiency rate was 20.4%, well below the state average of 30.1%. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, at 63.26% in the 2023-2024 school year, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.
Despite the school's low academic performance, it has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 9.8 and higher per-student spending of $10,935 for the 2018-2019 school year. This suggests that resource allocation may not be the primary factor contributing to the school's struggles, and other factors, such as curriculum, teaching quality, or student support services, may need to be examined to address the root causes of the school's poor academic outcomes.
