Roebling Elementary School

Summary:

Roebling Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-3 in Roebling, New Jersey, with a student population of 373 as of the 2022-2023 school year. The school faces several challenges, including low academic performance, high chronic absenteeism, and a high percentage of students from low-income families.

Roebling Elementary has a more diverse student population compared to the surrounding schools, with a racial breakdown of 47.18% White, 20.64% African American, 13.94% Hispanic, and 12.33% Asian. However, the academic performance of different racial subgroups varies significantly, with the school's African American students performing relatively well, ranking in the top 20% of New Jersey elementary schools for this subgroup, while the White and Asian students have performed poorly, ranking in the bottom 10% and bottom 10% respectively for their subgroups. Roebling Elementary's academic performance and other key metrics lag behind the nearby schools, such as Mansfield Township Elementary and Fountain Woods Elementary, which have higher academic proficiency rates, lower chronic absenteeism, and serve a lower percentage of students from low-income families.

Interestingly, Roebling Elementary is located just 0.14 miles away from Riverbank Charter School of Excellence, which is a high-performing charter school that has consistently ranked in the top 10% of New Jersey elementary schools and has significantly higher academic proficiency rates than Roebling Elementary. This proximity presents both opportunities and challenges for the school, as it highlights the potential for improvement, but also the competition it faces from a nearby high-performing option.

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 Used to be a parent... I removed my child from this school. Very negative & frustrating school experience. I don't hesitate to recommend to friends & family alike that private, Catholic or charter school is their best bet, by far. Close Quote

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.
