Bartle Elementary School

Summary:

Bartle Elementary School is a public elementary school in Highland Park, New Jersey, serving 429 students in grades 2-5. The school faces several challenges, including declining academic performance, high chronic absenteeism, and disparities in student subgroup performance.

Bartle Elementary School has a diverse student population, with 34.27% White, 9.09% African American, 30.77% Hispanic, and 16.55% Asian students. However, the school's academic performance, as measured by NJSLA test scores, is generally lower than the state and district averages. For example, only 27.4% of 3rd-grade students were proficient or better in ELA, compared to the state average of 42%. The school's chronic absenteeism rate has also increased significantly, from 6.5% in 2016-2017 to 30.1% in 2021-2022, which is notably higher than the nearby Edison Township School District schools.

Bartle Elementary School's performance varies significantly among different student subgroups, with Asian students performing better than African American and Hispanic students. The school's ranking among New Jersey elementary schools has dropped from 401 out of 1,357 in 2014-2015 to 790 out of 1,342 in 2022-2023, with a consistent 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. The high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at Bartle Elementary School, at 40.33%, may be a contributing factor to the school's lower academic performance and higher chronic absenteeism.

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.
