Copper Hill Elementary School

Summary:

Copper Hill Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Ringoes, New Jersey, serving students from pre-kindergarten to 4th grade as part of the Flemington-Raritan Regional School District. The school has seen a shift in its student racial makeup, with a decrease in the percentage of White students and an increase in the percentage of Hispanic and Asian students in recent years.

Copper Hill Elementary School is a strong-performing school, consistently ranking in the top half of New Jersey elementary schools. The school's performance on the NJSLA (New Jersey Student Learning Assessment) tests is generally above the state and district averages, particularly in mathematics. For example, in the 2022-2023 school year, 66.7% of 3rd-grade students and 54.7% of 4th-grade students were proficient or better in NJSLA Mathematics, compared to the state averages of 45.9% and 44.3%, respectively. The school also has a relatively low student-teacher ratio and a low chronic absenteeism rate, both of which are key metrics that differentiate it from the surrounding schools.

While Copper Hill Elementary School generally outperforms the nearby Francis A. Desmares Elementary School and Robert Hunter Elementary School on the NJSLA tests, it faces some challenges. The school's performance on the NJSLA tests for its low socioeconomic status students is not as strong, suggesting the need to focus on improving the academic performance of this subgroup. In comparison, Barley Sheaf Elementary School, another nearby school, also performs well on the NJSLA tests, with scores that are often comparable to or higher than Copper Hill Elementary School's.

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.
