Summary

Compass Academy Charter School is a PK–5 elementary school in Vineland, New Jersey, with 183 students, compared with an average enrollment of about 480 at ten nearby schools. Its 2025–26 proficiency results are below the state average in every tested subject: across grades 3–5, Compass averaged 29% in English Language Arts (ELA), 17% in math and 3% in fifth-grade science, versus state averages of 49%, 47% and 27%. The most important finding is that academic results are broadly weak, with especially low math and science proficiency.

ELA is Compass’s strongest subject relative to nearby schools, but it still trails the state: its 29% average compares with 31% at nearby schools and 49% statewide. Third grade is a brighter spot: Compass ranked third among the 11 schools in both ELA (33% versus 24% nearby) and math (30% versus 24% nearby). Results are weaker in fourth-grade ELA (17% versus 28% nearby) and fifth-grade math (9% versus 28%). Fifth-grade science is the clearest local weakness: Compass scored 3%, below every nearby school; the next-lowest result was 5% at Gloria M. Sabater Elementary School. The supplied Compass Academy Charter School district test-score figures match the school’s, so they do not provide a separate benchmark.

Results have fluctuated: ELA rose from an average of 26% in 2022–23 to 29% in 2025–26, while math stayed about the same at 17%; science fell from 8% to 3%. SchoolDigger’s overall standing dropped from the 45th percentile in 2023–24 to the 12th in 2025–26, when the school received 1 star. Context includes a student–teacher ratio of 10.7 in 2024–25, lower than most nearby schools, and 80% of students free/reduced lunch eligible that year, compared with a nearby-school average of 60%. SchoolDigger ranked the school’s effectiveness for Low Socio Economic Status Students at the 50th percentile in 2024–25, versus 18th overall; its Hispanic-student ranking fell from the 61st percentile in 2023–24 to the 11th in 2025–26. Chronic absenteeism improved, declining from 32% in 2022–23 to 15% in 2024–25.
