Estell Manor Elementary School

Summary:

Estell Manor Elementary School is a public K-8 school in Estell Manor, New Jersey, serving a student population of 177. The school is part of the Atlantic County Special Services School District, which is ranked 341 out of 615 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Estell Manor Elementary School stands out for its significantly higher percentage of white students (88.14%) compared to nearby schools, which have more diverse student populations. However, the school has faced significant challenges, including a sharp increase in chronic absenteeism, from 10.3% in 2018-2019 to 36.3% in 2021-2022, which is much higher than the state average and the nearby schools, such as Anthony Rossi Elementary School, Maurice River Township School, and Weymouth Township Elementary School. Additionally, Estell Manor Elementary School's test scores are generally lower than the state averages, particularly in English Language Arts and Mathematics, with only 22.7% of 3rd graders proficient or better in ELA, compared to the state average of 42%.

The school's performance, as measured by its statewide ranking and SchoolDigger star rating, has declined over the past several years, dropping from 536 out of 1,317 New Jersey elementary schools in 2020-2021 to 755 out of 1,342 schools in 2022-2023, with a 2-star rating. This is in contrast to the nearby schools, which generally have higher test scores, lower chronic absenteeism rates, and better overall performance. While the school's free and reduced-price lunch rates are lower than many of the nearby schools, suggesting that socioeconomic factors may not be the primary driver of the school's performance challenges, the unique factors contributing to Estell Manor Elementary School's struggles warrant further investigation and targeted interventions 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.

Open Quote I attended EMS from k-8th grade and it was really an amazing place to be brought up. The class sizes were small enough and it really felt like a community in the school. Everyone knew everyone and I was actually in the largest class that passed through there, totaling 36 students. We had a great education and everyone was able to get the help they needed. I wish that the classroom culture had more variety, as growing up, we had 98% white students in the classroom. I believe it's slowly changing, however, which is a good thing. Go Wildcats!

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.
