Newbury Early Learning Center

Public Prekindergarten Grades PK

Summary

Newbury Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades 3-5 in the Howell Township Public School District in New Jersey. The school has 370 students and has been consistently ranked in the middle range of New Jersey elementary schools, receiving 3 out of 5 stars from SchoolDigger over the past several years.

Newbury Elementary's academic performance, as measured by NJSLA test scores, is generally on par with or slightly below the district and state averages, with stronger performance in the upper elementary grades. The school's Asian students have consistently performed very well, ranking 2nd out of 340 New Jersey elementary schools in 2023-2024. However, Newbury's Hispanic, White, English Language Learner, Special Education, and Low Socioeconomic Status students have generally performed below average compared to their peers statewide. The school has also experienced relatively high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 13.1% to 18.1% over the past few years, which is higher than the district and state averages.

Compared to some nearby schools, Newbury Elementary has lower per-student spending of $8,417 in 2018-2019, and a higher student-teacher ratio of 12.5 in 2022-2023. This suggests the school may face challenges in providing the necessary resources and support for student learning. Overall, Newbury Elementary School appears to have some strengths, particularly in the upper elementary grades and for its Asian student population, but also faces challenges in addressing achievement gaps and high chronic absenteeism rates.
