Summary

Hopewell Crest is an elementary school serving grades PK-8 in Bridgeton, New Jersey, part of the Hopewell Township School District. With 522 students, the school consistently ranks in the bottom quarter of New Jersey elementary schools, performing significantly below state averages on standardized assessments across all grade levels and subjects.

Hopewell Crest's academic struggles are not unique to the school; nearby schools like Bridgeton Public Charter School, Elizabeth F. Moore School, and the various Bridgeton City School District schools also perform poorly on academic measures and have high rates of chronic absenteeism and free/reduced lunch eligibility. This suggests a broader trend of underperformance in the Bridgeton area, despite higher per-student spending and lower student-teacher ratios compared to state averages.

Hopewell Crest's student subgroups, including female, male, Hispanic, White, special education, and low socioeconomic status students, all perform significantly below their respective state averages on standardized assessments. The school also faces challenges with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 14.9% to 20.9% over the past few years, which are significantly higher than the state average. Addressing these systemic issues will require a comprehensive approach to support the students and families in the Bridgeton community.
