Summary

Quarter Mile Lane School is an elementary school in Bridgeton City School District, serving 667 students in grades PK-8. The school consistently ranks among the lowest-performing elementary schools in New Jersey, with proficiency rates well below state and district averages in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science.

Quarter Mile Lane School has struggled with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 14.9% to 26.1% in recent years, significantly higher than the state average. The school's performance is particularly concerning for certain student subgroups, ranking in the bottom 5% of New Jersey elementary schools for African American and Hispanic students in ELA and Mathematics. Despite the district's low ranking and the school's poor academic performance, the per-student spending at Quarter Mile Lane School is relatively high compared to the state average.

While the Bridgeton City School District as a whole struggles academically, there are some nearby schools, such as Indian Ave School and Broad Street School, that perform significantly better than Quarter Mile Lane School in ELA and Mathematics proficiency across multiple grade levels. This suggests that factors beyond just funding, such as school leadership, teacher quality, and instructional practices, may be contributing to the school's challenges.
