Summary:
The 08092 zip code is home to a single public elementary school, Eagleswood Elementary School, which serves grades PK-6 and has a total enrollment of 150 students. The school is part of the Eagleswood Township School District, which is ranked 489 out of 609 districts in New Jersey and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Eagleswood Elementary School faces several challenges, including a chronic absenteeism rate of 14.9%, which is higher than the state average. The school's academic performance, as measured by NJSLA test scores, is consistently below the state averages across all grade levels and subject areas, with proficiency rates ranging from 16.7% to 41.2% in English Language Arts and 20% to 41.2% in Mathematics, compared to state averages of 44.9% to 56.1% in ELA and 39.8% to 49.8% in Mathematics. Additionally, 30% of the school's students are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.
Despite the school's low academic performance, it has a relatively high spending per student of $16,244, which is higher than the state average. The school also has a low student-teacher ratio of 9.6 to 1, which could be an advantage in providing more individualized attention to students. However, these factors do not appear to be translating into improved academic outcomes, suggesting that other factors, such as curriculum, instruction, and school leadership, may need to be addressed to improve the school's performance.
