Summary

Pennsville Memorial High School is a public high school serving grades 9-12 in Pennsville, New Jersey, with a total enrollment of 481 students. The school is part of the Pennsville School District, which is ranked 495 out of 609 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Pennsville Memorial High School has consistently ranked in the bottom quarter of New Jersey high schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger over the past 10 years. The school's performance is generally lower than nearby high schools like Clearview Regional High School, Kingsway Regional High School, and Woodstown High School, which have higher statewide rankings and academic achievement levels. However, Pennsville Memorial High School performs better than some more disadvantaged nearby schools, such as Paulsboro High School, Salem High School, and Penns Grove High School, which have even lower statewide rankings and academic proficiency rates.

Pennsville Memorial High School faces significant challenges in terms of its academic achievement, with proficiency rates on state assessments significantly below the state averages across all subject areas and grade levels. The school has also experienced a concerning trend of increasing chronic absenteeism, rising from 12.0% in 2023-2024 to 18.7% in 2022-2023. While the school has maintained relatively stable graduation and dropout rates, the high proportion of students from low-income families, at 29.44% to 34.1% over the past 3 years, may be a contributing factor to the school's overall performance.
