Summary

Woodbine Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-8 in Woodbine, New Jersey. With 257 students, the school is part of the Woodbine School District, which is ranked 562 out of 609 districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger. Woodbine Elementary School has consistently been ranked in the bottom 10-15% of New Jersey elementary schools over the past decade, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

The school faces significant challenges, including extremely high chronic absenteeism rates ranging from 34.5% to 36.4% in recent years, well above the state average and nearby schools like Commercial Township School and Weymouth Township Elementary School. Academically, Woodbine Elementary School's performance on NJSLA tests is very low, with proficiency rates ranging from just 19% in 3rd grade ELA to 5.9% in 5th grade Math, far below state averages. The school also struggles to serve its diverse student population effectively, with subgroup performance rankings in the bottom 25% of New Jersey elementary schools.

Despite spending $15,342 per student, more than nearby schools, Woodbine Elementary School is not achieving better results. This raises concerns about the efficiency and effectiveness of the Woodbine School District's resource allocation. Addressing the school's chronic absenteeism crisis, improving academic performance across all grade levels and subject areas, and ensuring equitable outcomes for all students will require a comprehensive, data-driven approach to transform the educational experience at Woodbine Elementary School.
