Hampton Borough School

Summary:

Hampton Borough School is a small elementary school serving grades PK-5 in Hampton, New Jersey, with a student population of just 103 students. However, the school faces significant challenges, with lower academic performance, higher chronic absenteeism, and a less diverse student population compared to nearby schools.

Academically, Hampton Borough School struggles, with proficiency rates on state assessments that are well below the state averages. For example, in 5th grade English Language Arts, the school had a 41.2% proficiency rate, compared to the state average of 53.2%. In 5th grade Mathematics, the proficiency rate was only 23.5%, far behind the state average of 40.1%. This academic performance is significantly lower than nearby schools like Union Township Elementary School and Clinton Public School, which outperform Hampton Borough School.

Beyond academics, Hampton Borough School also faces challenges with high chronic absenteeism, reaching 27.7% in the 2021-2022 school year, and a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at 20.39%. These factors may contribute to the school's struggles, as research has shown that attendance and socioeconomic status can have a significant impact on student learning and achievement. With a declining performance trend and a stark contrast to the higher-performing nearby schools, Hampton Borough School has a clear opportunity to implement targeted interventions and strategies to improve student outcomes and provide a better educational experience for its students.

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.
