Emma Havens Young Elementary School

Summary:

Emma Havens Young Elementary School is a public elementary school in Brick, New Jersey, serving 756 students from kindergarten to 5th grade as part of the Brick Township Public School District.

While the school has a diverse student population, it faces several challenges. Emma Havens Young Elementary has seen a steady increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 10.6% in 2017-2018 to 18.3% in 2021-2022, significantly higher than nearby schools like Midstreams Elementary (15.1%) and Drum Point Road Elementary (14.8%). Academically, the school's performance on the NJSLA assessments is generally lower than state and district averages across all grade levels and subject areas, with notable disparities between student subgroups.

The high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch at Emma Havens Young Elementary (43.39%) suggests the school serves a relatively disadvantaged population, which may contribute to its lower academic performance compared to more affluent nearby schools. To address these challenges, the school will need to implement targeted interventions and support to improve attendance, academic achievement, and equity among all 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.

Open Quote This may just seem like a regular school, but our sources come from the kids. One kid says "They try to make school super fun, but they try too hard. Many teacher are rude or just get annoyed about small things." That made us start thinking if it is the teachers fault for the ratings of this school. Close Quote

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.
