Summary

Winfield Township is an elementary school serving grades PK-8 in Winfield Park, New Jersey, with 146 students. The school is part of the Winfield Township School District, which is ranked 391 out of 609 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Academically, Winfield Township generally underperforms compared to the state average and nearby schools like Hillside Avenue School in the Cranford Public School District. The school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics are below state averages, with particularly weak performance in Mathematics. However, the school's performance for low-income students is relatively stronger, suggesting effective support and interventions for this population.

Winfield Township faces challenges with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 8.1% to 16.6% in recent years, significantly higher than the state average and nearby schools. Despite the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio and higher per-student spending compared to some nearby schools, the academic outcomes suggest that more targeted interventions and support may be necessary to improve student learning and achievement.
