Hamburg School

Summary:

Hamburg School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-8 in the town of Hamburg, New Jersey. With a student population of 246, the school is part of the Sussex-Wantage Regional School District, which is ranked 274 out of 615 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Hamburg School stands out in several ways. It has a higher percentage of White students (68.29%) compared to surrounding schools, which range from 62.03% to 87.89% White students. The school also performs well on state assessments, particularly in English Language Arts, with 76.4% of 5th graders and 69.5% of 8th graders scoring proficient or better in 2022-2023, exceeding the state averages. However, the school's math scores are more mixed, with some grades performing above the state average and others below. Additionally, Hamburg School ranks very highly for its special education students, ranking 49 out of 949 New Jersey elementary schools in 2021-2022 with a 5-star rating.

Despite these strengths, Hamburg School faces some challenges. The school has seen a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 8.8% in 2017-2018 to 25.1% in 2021-2022, which is higher than the state average and most surrounding schools. Additionally, the school has experienced a decline in racial diversity, with decreases in the percentage of African American and Hispanic students over the past few years. Nearby schools, such as Ogdensburg Borough School and Lafayette Township School, also have strong academic performance, particularly in math, providing competition for Hamburg School.

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.
