Glassboro High School

Summary:

Glassboro High School is a public high school in Glassboro, New Jersey, serving 518 students in grades 9-12. The school is part of the Glassboro School District, which is ranked 518 out of 615 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Glassboro High School has a more diverse student population compared to nearby schools, with a higher percentage of African American (32.63%) and Hispanic (21.24%) students. However, the school's performance metrics are significantly lower than state and district averages. Its test scores, particularly in English Language Arts, are well below the state average, and its four-year graduation rate has fluctuated between 87.6% and 95.3% in recent years, generally lower than the nearby schools. Glassboro High School also has a higher chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 6.2% to 16.6% in recent years, compared to the nearby schools. Additionally, the school serves a higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 37.74% to 48.46% in recent years.

While Glassboro High School's performance is generally lower than the nearby schools, there are some exceptions. For example, Gloucester County Institute of Technology, a vocational-technical school, has significantly higher test scores and graduation rates than Glassboro High School, despite serving a more diverse student population. This suggests that the school model and educational approach may be an important factor in student outcomes. Addressing the challenges faced by Glassboro High School, such as racial disparities, chronic absenteeism, and socioeconomic factors, will likely require a multifaceted approach, including targeted interventions, resource allocation, and a focus on equity and opportunity for all students.

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.
