Warren E. Sooy Junior Elementary School

Summary:

Warren E. Sooy Junior Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades 2-5 in Hammonton, New Jersey, with a student population of 755. The school is part of the Hammonton School District, which is ranked 343 out of 615 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While the school has some areas of strength, such as relatively strong performance in English Language Arts for 4th and 5th-grade students and good support for its English Language Learners and Special Education students, it also faces some challenges. The school has seen a significant increase in chronic absenteeism rates, rising from 5.1% in 2018-2019 to 12.0% in 2021-2022, which is notably higher than the state average. Additionally, the school's performance in Mathematics and Science lags behind the state average, with only 13.6% of 5th-grade students scoring proficient or better in Science, compared to the state average of 26.8%.

When comparing Warren E. Sooy Junior Elementary School to nearby schools, some interesting patterns emerge. The school's performance is generally on par with or slightly better than other schools in the Hammonton School District, but it lags behind schools in the Winslow Township and Monroe Township districts. Nearby schools with higher percentages of minority and economically disadvantaged students, such as Winslow Township Elementary School One and Collings Lakes Elementary School, tend to have lower test scores and higher chronic absenteeism rates, while schools with lower percentages of these students, such as Folsom Elementary School and Whitehall Elementary School, generally perform better on academic measures.

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.
