Fanny Meyer Hillers

Summary:

Fanny Meyer Hillers is an elementary school in Hackensack, New Jersey, serving students from pre-kindergarten to 4th grade. The school has a diverse student population, with a majority of Hispanic students and a significant number of African American, Asian, and other minority students.

Academically, Fanny Meyer Hillers has shown mixed performance compared to the Hackensack School District and the state of New Jersey. While the school's 4th-grade proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics are higher than the district and state averages, its 3rd-grade proficiency rates are lower. However, the school has demonstrated strong performance for certain student subgroups, particularly African American, Hispanic, and English Language Learner students, who rank among the top in the state. The school's high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, reaching over 60%, indicates that it serves a population with significant socioeconomic challenges.

One area of concern for Fanny Meyer Hillers is the significant increase in chronic absenteeism, from 7.2% in 2018-2019 to 26.9% in 2021-2022, which is notably higher than the state average. This issue warrants further investigation and intervention, as high chronic absenteeism can negatively impact student learning and academic outcomes. Compared to the nearby Lodi School District and South Hackensack School District schools, Fanny Meyer Hillers generally performs on par or slightly better in terms of academic proficiency, but the chronic absenteeism rate is notably higher.

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.
