Summary

Loudenslager Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades 3-6 in Paulsboro, New Jersey, with 351 students. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom 10% of New Jersey elementary schools over the past decade, receiving a 0 or 1-star rating from Paulsboro School District, which is ranked 608 out of 609 districts in the state.

Loudenslager Elementary School faces significant challenges in academic performance, with only 17.7% of 3rd graders proficient in English Language Arts and 16.5% proficient in Math, compared to state averages of 44.9% and 49.8%, respectively. The school also struggles with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 14.9% to 27.0%, and a high percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 53.51% to 68.38%. When compared to nearby schools, such as Oak Valley Elementary School and Samuel Mickle School, Loudenslager Elementary stands out as the lowest-performing.

Despite the district's low ranking, Loudenslager Elementary's per-student spending of $7,818 in 2018-2019 is not significantly lower than the nearby schools, suggesting that funding alone may not be the primary driver of the school's underperformance. The school also has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 10.6 to 12.2 over the past few years, indicating that class size may not be a significant factor in the school's academic challenges. Addressing these issues will require a comprehensive approach that goes beyond just funding and resources, and likely involves targeted interventions, community partnerships, and a focus on improving teaching and learning practices.
