Summary:
The 08201 zip code area of New Jersey is home to two public schools - H Ashton Marsh Elementary School and Emma C Attales Middle School, both part of the Absecon Public Schools District. While the schools serve a socioeconomically disadvantaged community, they have some strengths, such as low student-teacher ratios, but also face challenges in academic performance compared to state and district averages.
H Ashton Marsh Elementary School serves 534 students in grades PK-4, with a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger and ranking between 788-897 out of 1,342-1,347 New Jersey elementary schools. The school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics are generally below state and district averages, and it has a 50% free and reduced lunch rate. In contrast, Emma C Attales Middle School serves 393 students in grades 5-8, with a 3-star rating and ranking between 333-354 out of 743-752 New Jersey middle schools. While the middle school's English Language Arts proficiency rates are closer to or above state and district averages, its Mathematics proficiency rates are mostly below, except for a significantly higher Algebra I proficiency rate.
Both schools in the 08201 zip code area face challenges, including relatively high chronic absenteeism rates of 14.9% and lower per-student spending compared to the state average. However, their low student-teacher ratios of 9.1 and 11.1 may be a positive factor in their ability to provide individualized attention to students. Overall, the schools in this area serve a community with socioeconomic disadvantages and have room for improvement in academic performance, but also possess some strengths that could be leveraged to enhance educational outcomes for their students.
