Summary:
The 08075 zip code in New Jersey is home to 4 elementary schools serving students from grades K-5: Riverside Elementary School, Millbridge Elementary School, Delran Intermediate School, and M. Joan Pearson School. These schools are spread across three different school districts: Riverside Township School District, Delran Township School District, and Delanco Township School District.
Among the schools, Delran Intermediate School stands out as the highest performer, with stronger test scores in English Language Arts and Mathematics compared to the other schools and the state averages. In contrast, Riverside Elementary School and M. Joan Pearson School have significantly lower proficiency rates, particularly in Mathematics, which is a concern. The data also reveals a wide range in per-student spending, from $6,205 at M. Joan Pearson School to $12,252 at Millbridge Elementary School, which may be a factor in the performance differences.
Across all schools, the data shows high chronic absenteeism rates, well above the state target of 10%. This is a significant issue that likely contributes to the overall academic challenges faced by these schools. Additionally, the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch varies widely, from 25.38% at Millbridge Elementary to 56.23% at Riverside Elementary, suggesting a potential correlation between socioeconomic status and academic achievement that should be further explored.
