Newbury Elementary School

Summary:

Newbury Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades 3-5 in the Howell Township Public School District in New Jersey. The school has 370 students and has been consistently ranked in the middle range of New Jersey elementary schools, receiving 3 out of 5 stars from SchoolDigger over the past several years.

Newbury Elementary's academic performance, as measured by NJSLA test scores, is generally on par with or slightly below the district and state averages, with stronger performance in the upper elementary grades. The school's Asian students have consistently performed very well, ranking 2nd out of 340 New Jersey elementary schools in 2023-2024. However, Newbury's Hispanic, White, English Language Learner, Special Education, and Low Socioeconomic Status students have generally performed below average compared to their peers statewide. The school has also experienced relatively high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 13.1% to 18.1% over the past few years, which is higher than the district and state averages.

Compared to some nearby schools, Newbury Elementary has lower per-student spending of $8,417 in 2018-2019, and a higher student-teacher ratio of 12.5 in 2022-2023. This suggests the school may face challenges in providing the necessary resources and support for student learning. Overall, Newbury Elementary School appears to have some strengths, particularly in the upper elementary grades and for its Asian student population, but also faces challenges in addressing achievement gaps and high chronic absenteeism rates.

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.
