Lillian M. Steen

Summary:

Lillian M. Steen is an elementary school in Bogota, New Jersey, serving students from pre-kindergarten to 5th grade as part of the Bogota Public School District. Despite having a diverse student population with a high percentage of low-income students, Lillian M. Steen consistently outperforms its district and the state of New Jersey in academic achievement, particularly in English Language Arts and Mathematics.

Lillian M. Steen's academic performance is a standout, with 59.2% of 3rd graders, 46.2% of 4th graders, and 71.1% of 5th graders proficient or better in ELA, compared to the district's 49.5%, 45.9%, and 59.7%, respectively. In Mathematics, the school's proficiency rates are also higher than the district's across all grades. This strong academic performance is especially impressive given that 53.37% of Lillian M. Steen's students come from low-income backgrounds, and the school ranks 88th out of 910 New Jersey elementary schools for this subgroup.

While Lillian M. Steen's overall academic performance is commendable, the school faces challenges with increasing chronic absenteeism, which has risen from 4.9% in 2018-2019 to 15.8% in 2021-2022. Compared to nearby schools, Lillian M. Steen outperforms E. Roy Bixby Elementary School in both ELA and Mathematics, but trails the Teaneck Community Charter School in overall proficiency rates, despite its Hispanic students performing exceptionally well. Lillian M. Steen's diverse student population, low student-teacher ratio, and strong academic performance for its low-income students make it a standout school in the region.

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.
