Glendora Elementary School

Summary:

Glendora Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 233 students in grades K-5 in Glendora, New Jersey, which is part of the Gloucester Township Public Schools district.

Glendora Elementary School stands out in several ways. It has a significantly higher percentage of white students (72.53%) compared to nearby schools, which have more diverse student populations. The school also outperforms the district and the state of New Jersey in key test score metrics, with 44.8% of 3rd graders proficient or better in ELA, compared to 28.6% for the district and 42% for the state. However, the school has seen a concerning increase in chronic absenteeism, from 2.4% in 2018-2019 to 13.7% in 2021-2022, which is higher than the state average. Additionally, Glendora Elementary School has a relatively low percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (25.75%) compared to surrounding schools.

Despite its strong academic performance, Glendora Elementary School's statewide ranking has declined over the years, from 515 out of 1,360 schools in 2018-2019 to 687 out of 1,342 schools in 2022-2023. This suggests that while the school is performing well academically, it may be facing challenges in other areas that are impacting its overall ranking. Compared to nearby schools, Glendora Elementary School generally outperforms the Gloucester Township Public Schools district in test scores, but lags behind some of the higher-performing schools in the surrounding area, such as Glenview Avenue in the HADDON HEIGHTS School District.

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.
