Summary

Richard L Rice School is an elementary school serving students from pre-kindergarten to 5th grade in Marlton, New Jersey. It is part of the Evesham Township School District, which is ranked 310 out of 609 school districts in the state.

Richard L Rice School has shown mixed academic performance, with strengths in certain student subgroups but challenges in others. While the school's 3rd and 4th-grade English Language Arts (ELA) and mathematics scores have been above the district and state averages, its 5th-grade scores in these subjects have been below. Additionally, the school's science proficiency rates for 5th-grade students have been consistently lower than the district and state averages. Compared to higher-performing schools outside the district, such as those in the Voorhees Township and Medford Township school districts, Richard L Rice School's performance lags behind significantly, particularly in ELA and mathematics.

One positive finding is the strong performance of Richard L Rice School's African American students, who ranked in the top 38 out of 456 New Jersey elementary schools in the 2020-2021 school year. However, the school's performance for its White students has been relatively low, ranking in the bottom quartile of New Jersey elementary schools in recent years. Additionally, the school has experienced higher chronic absenteeism rates compared to the state average, which may be contributing to its overall academic outcomes. The school's per-student spending of $8,190 in the 2018-2019 school year is also lower than the spending at some of the higher-performing nearby schools, which may be a factor in its academic performance.
