Summary

Broad Street Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Gibbstown, New Jersey, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 287 students. The school is part of the Greenwich Township School District, which is ranked 402 out of 609 districts in New Jersey and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Broad Street Elementary School has consistently underperformed compared to the state average on the NJSLA (New Jersey Student Learning Assessment) exams, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics significantly lower than the state averages. The school has also had high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 10.7% to 16.6% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state's target of 10% or less. Additionally, the school has seen a significant increase in the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, from 17.98% in 2021-2022 to 33.21% in 2022-2023, indicating a growing population of economically disadvantaged students.

When compared to nearby schools, such as Logan Township Elementary School and Samuel Mickle School, Broad Street Elementary School generally underperforms, with significantly higher proficiency rates on NJSLA exams and higher statewide rankings. The high chronic absenteeism rates, growing population of economically disadvantaged students, and overall underperformance on standardized tests suggest that Broad Street Elementary School may be facing challenges related to student engagement, access to resources, and the ability to provide targeted support for struggling learners.
