Cold Springs School

Summary:

Cold Springs School is an elementary school located in Gloucester City, New Jersey, serving grades PK-3 with a total enrollment of 842 students. The school is part of the Gloucester City Public School District, which is ranked 495 out of 615 districts in New Jersey and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Compared to nearby schools, Cold Springs School has a more diverse student population, with a higher percentage of Hispanic (20.67%) and African American (12.71%) students. However, the school's academic performance, as measured by NJSLA standardized tests, is below the state average and the performance of nearby schools. For example, in 3rd grade English Language Arts, Cold Springs School had 34.6% proficiency compared to the state average of 42%, and in 3rd grade Mathematics, the school had 28.1% proficiency compared to the state average of 45.9%. Additionally, Cold Springs School has a significantly higher chronic absenteeism rate of 28.7%, much higher than the state average, and a high percentage of students (67.81%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a higher proportion of students from low-income families.

Over the past several years, Cold Springs School has seen a decline in its statewide ranking, dropping from 720 out of 1,360 New Jersey elementary schools in 2018-2019 to 967 out of 1,342 in 2022-2023. This trend is concerning and suggests that the school is struggling to keep up with the academic performance of other schools in the state. When analyzing the performance of specific student subgroups, Cold Springs School shows some concerning trends, with the school's ranking for African American, Hispanic, and White students in the bottom half of New Jersey elementary schools, indicating significant achievement gaps. To improve the school's outcomes, the Gloucester City Public School District and school leadership may need to implement targeted interventions and strategies to address these issues and provide a more equitable and high-quality education 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.
