Summary

Deal Elementary School is a public K-8 school in the Deal Boro School District in New Jersey, serving a relatively small student population of 152. While the school has consistently been ranked in the bottom half of New Jersey elementary schools, with a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger, it has some notable strengths and areas for improvement.

Academically, Deal Elementary School performs above the state average in English Language Arts (ELA), with 77.8% of 7th graders proficient or better in the 2024-2025 school year, compared to the state average of 57%. However, the school's Mathematics performance is a concern, with only 10.5% of 4th graders proficient or better, well below the state average of 46.7%. The school also faces challenges with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 10.3% to 16.6% over the past few years, which may be contributing to its lower academic performance.

Compared to nearby schools, Deal Elementary School generally outperforms them in academic achievement, particularly in ELA. For example, the school's 7th-grade ELA proficiency rate of 77.8% was significantly higher than the state average and the nearby Midtown Community Elementary School (28.5%) and Gables Elementary School (45.9%). However, the school's performance for the White student subgroup is relatively low, suggesting the need to examine potential equity issues and ensure all students are receiving the support they need.
