Summary:
The 08030 zip code area in New Jersey is home to 4 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. While the schools in this area generally perform below the state averages in academic proficiency, Alice Costello Elementary School stands out with relatively stronger performance, particularly in English Language Arts and Mathematics.
The Gloucester City Public School District, which encompasses three of the four schools, is ranked 465 out of 609 districts in New Jersey and is rated 1 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger. This suggests systemic challenges that may be impacting the performance of the individual schools. Additionally, all the schools in the 08030 zip code area have a high chronic absenteeism rate of 14.9%, which could be a contributing factor to the overall academic underperformance.
While Gloucester City High School has a strong graduation rate and performs well in English Language Arts, it struggles in Mathematics, with proficiency rates significantly lower than the district and state. The data also shows a general trend of declining academic performance as students progress from elementary to middle to high school, indicating a need for targeted interventions and support to help students maintain and improve their academic achievement throughout their educational journey.
