Summary

Bartle Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Highland Park, New Jersey, serving grades 2-5 with a total enrollment of 433 students. The school is part of the Highland Park Boro School District, which is ranked 392 out of 609 districts in New Jersey and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Bartle Elementary School's academic performance on the NJSLA (New Jersey Student Learning Assessment) tests is generally below the state average, with proficiency rates ranging from 28.4% to 60.2% in English Language Arts and 35.2% to 44% in Mathematics across grades 3-5. Compared to the Highland Park Boro School District, Bartle's performance is on par, but when compared to nearby schools in the Edison Township School District, such as John Marshall Elementary School, Bartle's academic performance is significantly lower. The school's performance also varies significantly across different student subgroups, with male students, Asian and White students, and English Language Learners and Special Education students generally outperforming their peers.

Another area of concern for Bartle Elementary School is its high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 14.9% to 23.5% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state average. Additionally, the school's spending per student, at $9,348, is lower than the state average and lower than the nearby schools in the Edison Township School District. Addressing these challenges, such as implementing targeted interventions and support programs, improving attendance, and ensuring equitable resource allocation, may be crucial for improving the school's overall performance and providing a quality education for all students.
