Nicholas Murray Butler Academy School No. 23

Summary:

Nicholas Murray Butler Academy School No. 23 is an elementary school located in Elizabeth, New Jersey, serving around 600 students from kindergarten to 8th grade. The school is part of the Elizabeth Public Schools district, which is ranked 508 out of 615 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite being part of the Elizabeth Public Schools district, Chessie Dentley Roberts Academy School No. 30, Dr. Albert Einstein Academy School No. 29, and Elmora School No. 12 generally perform better than Nicholas Murray Butler Academy School No. 23 on academic measures. However, these nearby schools still struggle with low academic performance compared to state averages, indicating broader challenges within the district.

Nicholas Murray Butler Academy School No. 23 consistently ranks in the bottom 10% of New Jersey elementary schools, with significantly below-average proficiency rates on the NJSLA tests across all grade levels and subject areas. The school's performance is particularly low for African American, Hispanic, English Language Learner, and Special Education students. Additionally, the school has experienced a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 10.8% in 2016-2017 to 23.1% in 2021-2022, well above the state average. These factors, combined with the high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, suggest that the school faces significant challenges in improving student outcomes and will require a comprehensive and sustained effort from the school, district, and state to support the students and drive meaningful improvements.

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.

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.
