Summary:
The Wildwood City School District in New Jersey contains only one high school, Wildwood High School, which serves grades 9-12. The school is performing below average compared to other high schools in the state, ranking 411 out of 434 New Jersey high schools for the 2024-2025 school year and receiving a low rating of 0 out of 5 stars from SchoolDigger.
Wildwood High School has a 91.3% four-year graduation rate, slightly below the state average, and a 1.0% dropout rate, which is relatively low. However, the school struggles with a high 14.9% chronic absenteeism rate. Academically, the school's test scores are significantly lower than the state averages across various subjects and grade levels, with only 18.5% of 9th graders proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to the state average of 49.9%.
Despite the district spending $20,579 per student, which is higher than the state average, and having a relatively low 10.3 student-teacher ratio, Wildwood High School's performance remains poor. This suggests that simply allocating more resources may not be enough to improve student outcomes, and the district and school leadership may need to examine how resources are being utilized and implement more targeted interventions to address the specific challenges faced by the school.
