Knowlton Township Board of Education

Summary:

Knowlton Township Board of Education is an elementary school serving grades PK-6 in Delaware, New Jersey, with a student population of 179. The school faces several challenges, including a lack of racial diversity, below-average academic performance, and high chronic absenteeism rates.

Knowlton Township Board of Education has a predominantly white student population, with 85.47% of students identifying as white, which is significantly higher than the state average and the racial makeup of nearby schools like Brass Castle School and Washington Memorial Elementary School. Academically, the school has struggled, ranking in the bottom half of New Jersey elementary schools, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics below the state averages across all grade levels. Additionally, the school has seen a steady increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 5.1% in 2017-2018 to 13.5% in 2021-2022, which is significantly higher than the state average and the rates of nearby schools like Central Elementary School and Hope Township School.

While Knowlton Township Board of Education has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 9 students per teacher, the school's spending per student of $17,942 is higher than the spending of some nearby schools, such as Central Elementary School ($9,632 per student) and Taylor Street Elementary School ($10,205 per student). The school's low ranking and 2-star rating from SchoolDigger suggest that it may need to implement targeted interventions and strategies to improve student outcomes and better serve the Knowlton Township School District, which is ranked 421 out of 615 districts in New Jersey.

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.
