Collingswood High School

Summary:

Collingswood High School is a public high school serving grades 9-12 in Collingswood, New Jersey, with a student population of 809. The school is part of the Collingswood Public School District, which is ranked 247 out of 615 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating.

Collingswood High School has shown mixed academic performance compared to state and district averages. While the school's proficiency rates in NJSLA/Geometry are closer to the averages, its proficiency in NJSLA/English Language Arts and NJSLA/Algebra I are lower. The school's performance also varies across different student subgroups, with male and African American students performing better than female and Hispanic students. Collingswood High School has seen improvements in its four-year graduation rate, but its chronic absenteeism rate has significantly increased in recent years, which is an area of concern.

Compared to nearby schools in the Camden City School District, such as Dr. Charles E. Brimm Medical Arts High School, Camden Big Picture Learning Academy, Creative Arts High School, and Camden High School, Collingswood High School performs significantly better in terms of academic proficiency, graduation rates, and chronic absenteeism. However, the school's performance is still below the state averages in some key areas, and factors such as socioeconomic status and spending per student may play a role in its outcomes.

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.
