Academically, Hope Township School has shown mixed performance compared to the state and nearby schools.

The school's overall statewide ranking has fluctuated over the years, from 240th out of 1,367 New Jersey elementary schools in 2012-2013 to 1,051st out of 1,345 in 2021-2022.

Compared to nearby schools, Hope Township School has a relatively low student-teacher ratio and a lower percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. However, it lags behind some of its neighbors, such as Frelinghuysen Township Elementary School and White Township Consolidated School, which have higher proficiency rates in both ELA and mathematics. The school's racial composition is also more homogeneous, with a higher percentage of White students compared to the more diverse student populations of nearby schools like Hatchery Hill Elementary 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.
