Summary:
The city of Landing, New Jersey has only one school in the data set, Nixon Elementary School, which serves grades PK-4 and is part of the Roxbury Township School District. Nixon Elementary School has a diverse student population, with 52.53% white, 36.58% Hispanic, and smaller percentages of other racial groups. However, the school's academic performance, as measured by English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics proficiency rates, is generally below the district and state averages, indicating room for improvement.
Nixon Elementary School also faces challenges with a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate of 16.3%, which can negatively impact student learning and academic outcomes. Additionally, 31.91% of the school's students are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting a significant population of economically disadvantaged students, which may contribute to the lower academic performance. On a positive note, the school has a low student-teacher ratio of 9.9, which could be a strength, as it may allow for more individualized attention and support for students.
Overall, the analysis of Nixon Elementary School reveals areas of concern, such as lower-than-average academic performance and high chronic absenteeism rates, which may be influenced by the school's socioeconomic factors. However, the school's low student-teacher ratio could be a potential strength. Continued monitoring and targeted interventions may be necessary to improve the school's overall performance and outcomes.
