Alloway Township School

Summary:

Alloway Township School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-8 in Alloway, New Jersey, with a student population of 262. While the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, it faces several challenges, including lower test scores, high chronic absenteeism, and a declining statewide ranking compared to other New Jersey elementary schools.

Alloway Township School's performance is generally lower than that of the nearby schools, such as Mannington Township Elementary School and Lower Alloways Creek Elementary School, which have higher test scores, lower chronic absenteeism rates, and better statewide rankings. The school's racial makeup is also significantly less diverse, with 85.5% of students being white, compared to the more diverse student populations in the surrounding areas.

Addressing the factors contributing to Alloway Township School's academic struggles, such as chronic absenteeism and equitable access to resources, could be important areas for improvement. The school's performance varies significantly by student subgroup, with the school's ranking for white students in the bottom quartile of New Jersey elementary schools, while the ranking for male students is in the bottom third. By focusing on these areas and learning from the successes of nearby schools, such as Mannington Township School District and The Lower Alloways Creek School District, Alloway Township School can work to improve its academic performance and provide a better educational experience for its students.

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.
