Broad Street School

Summary:

Broad Street School is an elementary school located in Bridgeton, New Jersey, serving grades K-8 with a total enrollment of 773 students. The school is part of the Bridgeton City School District, which is ranked 611 out of 615 school districts in New Jersey and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Broad Street School faces significant challenges, with a student population that is 88.87% Hispanic, well above the state average. The school consistently ranks in the bottom 10% of New Jersey elementary schools, with academic performance on NJSLA assessments significantly below the state and district averages across all grade levels and subject areas. Chronic absenteeism has also been a growing concern, rising from 4.5% in 2016-2017 to 19.6% in 2020-2021, well above the state average. Additionally, over 85% of Broad Street School's students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

Interestingly, Broad Street School's performance and metrics are consistently lower than the nearby Cherry Street School, Indian Ave School, and West Avenue School, which, while still struggling, generally outperform Broad Street School. The school's per-student spending of $13,961 in 2018-2019 is also higher than the state average, suggesting that additional funding alone may not be the sole solution to the school's challenges.

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.
