Summary

Atlantic Community Charter School is an elementary school located in Galloway, New Jersey, serving grades K-8 with a total enrollment of 344 students. The school is part of the Atlantic Community Charter School District, which is ranked 580 out of 609 districts in New Jersey and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Atlantic Community Charter School faces significant challenges in terms of student academic performance and attendance. The school has consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 14.9% to 38.6% over the past few years, significantly higher than the state average. Additionally, the school's test scores on the NJSLA (New Jersey Student Learning Assessments) are significantly lower than the state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the percentage of students proficient or better in English Language Arts ranged from 4.8% in 3rd grade to 52.9% in 8th grade, compared to the state averages of 44.9% to 57.1%. The school's performance on the NJSLA-S (Science) assessment is also very low, with only 9.1% of 5th graders and 0% of 8th graders scoring proficient or better, compared to the state averages of 30.1% and 19%, respectively.

Interestingly, the nearby public schools, such as North Main Street Elementary School, Brigantine Community School, and the schools in the Galloway Township Public School District, generally perform better than Atlantic Community Charter School on key metrics like test scores and chronic absenteeism rates. For example, Brigantine Community School had significantly higher proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics compared to Atlantic Community Charter School. The high rates of chronic absenteeism and the school's low socioeconomic status student population may be contributing factors to the school's poor academic performance, but the school's charter status and its ranking within the district may also play a role in the challenges it faces.
