William L Antheil Elementary School

Summary:

William L Antheil Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 692 students in grades PK-5 in Ewing, New Jersey, which is part of the Ewing Township School District. Unfortunately, this school has consistently ranked in the bottom quarter of New Jersey elementary schools over the past decade, maintaining a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

The school's performance is particularly low for certain student subgroups, such as female students, male students, African American students, and special education students. Its proficiency rates on the NJSLA assessments are significantly below state and district averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2023-2024, only 37.9% of 3rd graders were proficient in English Language Arts, compared to 43.6% statewide and 41.9% in the Ewing Township School District. Additionally, the school has consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 16.2% to 18.1% over the past few years, which is well above the state average.

When compared to other nearby elementary schools, such as Parkway Elementary School, another Ewing Township school, William L Antheil Elementary School generally performs worse. The school's performance is also in stark contrast to schools in higher-performing districts, such as Hopewell Valley Regional School District, where Stony Brook Elementary School has significantly higher proficiency rates and a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger.

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.
