Bogota Middle School

Q: Is Bogota Middle School a good school?

Bogota Middle School ranks 228 th of 743 New Jersey middle schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 3 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Bogota Middle School is a public middle school serving grades 6-7 in the Bogota Public School District in New Jersey, with 197 students. The school has shown strong performance in English Language Arts, with 7th grade students scoring significantly higher than the state average. However, the school's mathematics performance is more mixed, with 6th grade students scoring below the state average but 7th grade students performing better.

Bogota Middle School's Hispanic and low-socioeconomic status (SES) students have performed exceptionally well, ranking in the top 15% and top 10% of New Jersey middle schools, respectively, in recent years. The school's performance is generally on par with or slightly below some of the higher-performing nearby schools, such as Upper School in Englewood Cliffs and Maywood Avenue School in Maywood, but it outperforms several other nearby schools that have struggled with lower student achievement.

However, Bogota Middle School faces challenges with a concerning increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 9.5% in 2021-2022 to 16.6% in 2022-2023. The school also has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, at 54.82% in 2022-2023, suggesting a significant population of students from low-income families. Continued collaboration with the Bogota Public School District and neighboring schools could help Bogota Middle School build on its strengths and address its areas for improvement.

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.
