Summary

Florence Riverfront School is a public middle school serving grades 4-8 in Florence, New Jersey, with 619 students. The school faces significant academic and demographic challenges compared to the state and nearby higher-performing schools.

Florence Riverfront School consistently underperforms on state assessments, with proficiency rates ranging from 15-45% in English Language Arts and 8-41% in Mathematics, well below the state averages. The school's performance is particularly low for certain student subgroups, ranking in the bottom 25% of New Jersey middle schools for Asian, Hispanic, and White student performance in both subjects. Additionally, the school has high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 14.9% to 17.6% in recent years, significantly above the state average. The school has also seen a steady increase in the percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, from 20.61% in 2021-2022 to 39.42% in 2023-2024.

In comparison, nearby schools like Northern Burlington County Regional Middle School and Bordentown Regional Middle School have proficiency rates 20-40 percentage points higher than Florence Riverfront across English Language Arts and Mathematics. However, one bright spot for Florence Riverfront is its Algebra I performance, with 66-82% of students scoring proficient or above on the end-of-course exam in recent years, outpacing the state average. The school also has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 9.5 to 12.3 in recent years, which is better than many of the nearby lower-performing schools. Despite this, the school's spending per student, at $8,562 (2018-2019 data), is lower than the state average, which may contribute to its academic challenges.
