Drum Point Road Elementary School

Summary:

Drum Point Road Elementary School is a public elementary school in Brick, New Jersey, serving students from kindergarten to 5th grade as part of the Brick Township Public School District. While the school generally outperforms the district and state averages on academic measures, it faces some challenges compared to nearby top-performing schools.

Drum Point Road Elementary School stands out for its higher percentage of white students (75.54%) compared to more diverse nearby schools. The school also performs better than the district and state on English Language Arts and Mathematics assessments, particularly in the upper grades. However, its performance varies across different student subgroups, with male students outperforming female students and English Language Learner and Special Education students performing below the school's overall averages. Additionally, the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 14.8% is lower than some nearby schools, and it has a lower percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (24.46%) compared to other local schools.

While Drum Point Road Elementary School is a moderately performing school within the district, it faces competition from top-performing schools in the region, such as North Dover Elementary School and Osbornville Elementary School, both of which have higher test scores and lower chronic absenteeism rates. Additionally, the school's statewide ranking has been declining in recent years, suggesting it may be struggling to keep pace with improvements in other schools across the state.

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.
