Summary

Hamburg School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-8 in Hamburg, New Jersey, with 235 students. The school is part of the Hamburg School District, which is ranked 254 out of 609 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Hamburg School has shown mixed performance on state assessments, with some grade levels and subjects performing above the state average, they also struggle in others. For example, their 5th grade students scored 72% proficient or better in ELA, significantly higher than the state average of 52.7%, but their 8th grade students scored only 20% proficient or better in Math, compared to the state average of 20.7%. The school's performance on science assessments is also concerning, with only 5.3% of 8th graders scoring proficient or better, compared to the state average of 19%. Additionally, Hamburg School has struggled with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 14.9% to 30.7% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state average.

Compared to nearby schools, Hamburg School generally performs better than the Sussex-Wantage Regional School District schools, but lags behind the Vernon Township School District schools and the Ogdensburg Borough School. The school's high spending per student and low student-teacher ratio suggest that resources may not be the primary issue, and the school may need to focus on improving instructional practices, student engagement, and addressing the needs of its diverse student population.
