Summary

Buckshutem Road School is an elementary school in the Bridgeton City School District in New Jersey, serving grades K-8 with 628 students. The school has consistently ranked among the lowest-performing elementary schools in the state, with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past several years.

Buckshutem Road School's academic performance is significantly below the state and district averages. In the 2024-2025 school year, only 13.8% of 3rd graders were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 44.9% statewide and 11.8% in the Bridgeton City School District. The school's performance in mathematics is also notably lower than the state and district. Additionally, Buckshutem Road School has high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 14.9% to 26.1% in recent years, which is significantly higher than the state and district averages.

The challenges faced by Buckshutem Road School are not unique to the school, as the nearby Broad Street School, West Avenue School, and Quarter Mile Lane School also perform poorly on standardized tests and have high rates of chronic absenteeism. This suggests that the issues may be systemic within the Bridgeton City School District. Addressing these challenges will likely require a comprehensive, multi-faceted approach that addresses both academic and non-academic factors.
