Ewing High School

Summary:

Ewing High School is a public high school in Ewing, New Jersey, serving 1,109 students in grades 9-12. The school is part of the Ewing Township School District, which is ranked 537 out of 615 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Ewing High School stands out for its diverse student population, with a higher percentage of African American (46.89%) and Hispanic (23.62%) students compared to nearby schools. However, the school's academic performance, as measured by standardized test scores, is significantly lower than the state and nearby school averages. For example, in the 2022-2023 school year, only 33.5% of 9th-grade students were proficient or better in NJSLA/English Language Arts, compared to the state average of 52.1%. Ewing High School's four-year graduation rate has also been declining, from 90.8% in 2019-2020 to 85.2% in 2021-2022, which is lower than the state average.

Ewing High School's challenges extend beyond academics, with a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, from 9.6% in 2016-2017 to 22.9% in 2021-2022, which is higher than the state average. While the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 12.3, this does not seem to be translating into improved academic outcomes. Compared to nearby high-performing schools, such as Hopewell Valley Central High School, Ewing High School's performance is significantly lower, suggesting the need for targeted interventions and support 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.
