Summary

Mildred Magowan Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-4 in Edgewater Park, New Jersey, with 563 students. The school is part of the Edgewater Park Township School District, which is ranked 503 out of 609 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Mildred Magowan Elementary School has consistently ranked in the bottom third of New Jersey elementary schools over the past decade, with a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with African American and English Language Learner students performing relatively well, but White and Special Education students performing poorly. Academically, the school lags behind the state average in both English Language Arts and Mathematics, and it has consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 14.1% to 18.0% over the past few years.

Compared to nearby schools, such as Delran Intermediate School, Mildred Magowan Elementary School performs relatively poorly in both ELA and Mathematics proficiency rates, as well as in overall statewide ranking. The school's per-student spending of $11,624 in 2018-2019 is also lower than some nearby schools, suggesting that funding may be a contributing factor to the school's underperformance.
