Number Three School

Summary:

Number Three School is an elementary school in Fairview, New Jersey, serving grades PK-4 with a total enrollment of 705 students. The school is part of the Fairview Public School District, which is ranked 596 out of 615 districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Number Three School faces significant challenges, with consistently low academic performance, high chronic absenteeism, and a student population that is predominantly Hispanic (91.77%) and from low socioeconomic backgrounds (78.3% qualify for free or reduced-price lunch). The school's academic performance, as measured by NJSLA test scores, is significantly below the state and district averages, with only 10.4% of 3rd-grade students and 5.4% of 4th-grade students proficient or better in English Language Arts, and just 14% of 3rd-grade students and 1.7% of 4th-grade students proficient or better in mathematics. In comparison, nearby schools like School No. 4 in the Fort Lee School District and Robert Fulton Elementary School in the North Bergen School District have significantly higher test scores and overall rankings.

The high chronic absenteeism rate at Number Three School, reaching 18.1% in 2021-2022, is a significant concern and likely contributes to the school's poor academic performance. Additionally, the school's student-teacher ratio is relatively high, ranging from 20 to 24.8 students per teacher over the past few years. These factors, combined with the school's demographics and low socioeconomic status, suggest the need for targeted interventions and support to improve educational outcomes for the students at Number Three School.

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.
