Dr. Leroy McCloud Elementary School

Public Grades 4-6

Summary

Dr. Leroy McCloud Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades 3-5 in Englewood, New Jersey, with 481 students. The school is part of the Englewood Public School District, which is ranked 486 out of 613 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Academically, Dr. Leroy McCloud Elementary School struggles, with proficiency rates on the NJSLA assessments significantly below state and district averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's 3rd grade English Language Arts proficiency rate was 37%, compared to 43.6% statewide and 37% for the Englewood district. The school also has consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 16.6% to 19.8% over the past few years, which is much higher than the state average.

Despite the school's challenges, its per-student spending of $11,706 in 2018-2019 is on par with the state average and higher than some of the nearby higher-performing schools, such as Ralph S Maugham School, Walter Stillman School, and J Spencer Smith School, which consistently rank in the top 5-10% of New Jersey elementary schools. This suggests that factors other than funding, such as instructional quality, school leadership, and student/family engagement, may be more significant in the school's underperformance.
