Main Road School

Summary:

Main Road School is an elementary school located in Newfield, New Jersey, serving grades 3-4 with a total enrollment of 392 students. The school is part of the Township of Franklin School District.

Academically, Main Road School is performing below the state average, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics that lag behind the state. For example, in 2022-2023, the school's 3rd grade ELA proficiency rate was 21.1% compared to the state average of 42%, and its 4th grade Math proficiency rate was 43.1% compared to the state average of 44.3%. The school's performance has been relatively stagnant over the past few years. Additionally, Main Road School has a higher chronic absenteeism rate compared to the state average, ranging from 7.8% to 10.2% in recent years.

Compared to nearby schools, such as John C. Milanesi Elementary School, Dane Barse Elementary School, and Compass Academy Charter School, Main Road School generally performs worse academically and has a higher chronic absenteeism rate. For instance, Dane Barse Elementary School, which is in the Vineland Public School District, outperformed Main Road School in most NJSLA assessments. Despite having a relatively low percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch and a low student-teacher ratio, Main Road School's academic outcomes suggest that factors beyond demographics and class size may be influencing the school's performance.

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.
