Academically, H Ashton Marsh's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics are consistently below the state averages across grades 3 and 4. The school's performance on the NJSLA (New Jersey Student Learning Assessments) has been relatively low, with its ranking among New Jersey elementary schools ranging from 727 to 970 over the past several years. Compared to nearby schools like Roland Rogers Elementary School, Reeds Road Elementary School, and Arthur Rann Elementary School, H Ashton Marsh generally performs worse on academic measures.

Additionally, H Ashton Marsh has experienced high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 15.1% to 19.3% over the past few years, which is higher than the state average. Approximately 45-49% of the school's students are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively high proportion of students from low-income families. The school's spending per student ($9,221 in 2018-2019) is also lower than the state average, which may contribute to the academic challenges. To address these issues, the school should focus on improving attendance, implementing targeted interventions for struggling students, and exploring ways to optimize its resource allocation.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
