Summary:
The Woodbury City Public School District in New Jersey serves students from preschool through 12th grade across 4 schools, including 3 elementary schools and 1 junior-senior high school. The district faces significant challenges, with its schools consistently underperforming compared to state averages on standardized tests, particularly in Mathematics.
Among the district's schools, Walnut Street School stands out as the highest-performing, ranking 811 out of 1,347 New Jersey elementary schools and consistently achieving higher test scores than the district and state averages. In contrast, Evergreen Avenue Elementary School, while ranked lower, still has some strong performance metrics, such as higher 5th grade Mathematics proficiency rates compared to the district and state.
The district's challenges are further highlighted by its low test scores, with only 10% of 8th graders at Woodbury Junior-Senior High School proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to the state average of 20.7%. Additionally, the district has high rates of chronic absenteeism and a relatively high dropout rate at the junior-senior high school. These issues suggest systemic challenges that the district needs to address to improve student outcomes, particularly for economically disadvantaged students who make up a significant portion of the student population.
