Elsinboro Township School

Summary:

Elsinboro Township School is a public elementary school serving 117 students in grades K-8 in Salem, New Jersey. The school is part of the Elsinboro Township School District, which is ranked 412 out of 615 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Elsinboro Township School stands out for its more diverse student population, with 58.12% White, 17.09% African American, and 14.53% Hispanic students, compared to nearby schools like Stow Creek Township School and Alloway Township School, which have student populations over 85% White. However, the school's academic performance is mixed, with some grade levels and subjects performing above the state average, while others struggle. Additionally, Elsinboro Township School has seen a steady increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 5.1% in 2017-2018 to 10.1% in 2021-2022, and a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at 57.26%.

Compared to nearby schools, Elsinboro Township School's performance is generally lower, with Mannington Township Elementary School, Alloway Township School, and Stow Creek Township School all having higher test scores, lower chronic absenteeism, and lower percentages of students receiving free/reduced lunch. The school's declining statewide ranking, from 629 out of 1,352 elementary schools in 2016-2017 to 865 out of 1,342 in 2022-2023, suggests it is struggling to keep pace with other schools in the state. Addressing the challenges of a diverse student population, high poverty rates, and increasing chronic absenteeism will be crucial for Elsinboro Township School to improve student 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.
