Beach Haven School

Q: Is Beach Haven School a good school?

Beach Haven School ranks 569 th of 1342 New Jersey elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 3 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Beach Haven School is a small elementary school in Beach Haven, New Jersey, serving grades PK-6 with a total enrollment of 72 students. The school is part of the Long Beach Island Consolidated School District, which is ranked 298 out of 615 districts in the state.

Beach Haven School stands out for its strong academic performance, particularly in English Language Arts (ELA). In the 2022-2023 school year, 76.9% of 5th graders and 81.8% of 3rd and 4th graders scored proficient or better on ELA assessments, well above the state average. However, the school's math and science proficiency rates are more mixed, with 5th graders scoring slightly below the state average in math and 5th grade science proficiency lower than the state average. The school's student-teacher ratio of 6.5 is exceptionally low compared to nearby schools, which range from 8.3 to 14 students per teacher.

While Beach Haven School's academic performance is impressive, the school's student population is relatively homogeneous, with 81.94% of students identifying as White and only 4.17% eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, significantly lower than the surrounding schools. This suggests the school may serve a more affluent and predominantly White community, which could contribute to its strong academic results. Nearby schools, such as Robert C. Wood Senior Early Childhood Center and George J. Mitchell Elementary School, have more diverse student populations and higher percentages of economically disadvantaged 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.
