Lavallette Elementary School

Summary:

Lavallette Elementary School is a public school serving grades PK-8 in the small coastal town of Lavallette, New Jersey, with a student population of 155. While the school has shown some academic strengths, it faces a mix of challenges, including inconsistent performance, declining statewide ranking, and concerning trends in student attendance and equity.

Academically, Lavallette Elementary School has demonstrated a mixed performance compared to the state and nearby schools. The school excels in certain grade levels and subjects, such as 5th and 7th grade English Language Arts and 8th grade Algebra I, but struggles in Mathematics across most grade levels. This inconsistent academic performance is reflected in the school's fluctuating statewide ranking, which has ranged from a high of 248 out of 1,367 New Jersey elementary schools in 2012-2013 to a low of 864 out of 1,317 in 2020-2021. The school's current ranking for the 2022-2023 school year is 778 out of 1,342 elementary schools, with a 2-star rating.

Additionally, Lavallette Elementary School has shown notable disparities in the performance of specific student groups. While the school's male students have performed exceptionally well, ranking 3rd out of 1,335 New Jersey elementary schools in 2018-2019, the school's White students have struggled, ranking in the bottom 10% of New Jersey elementary schools in recent years. Furthermore, the school has experienced a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 5.5% in 2018-2019 to 15.8% in 2021-2022, which is notably higher than the state average and the rates of nearby schools like Hooper Avenue Elementary School and Bayville Elementary School. These trends suggest that Lavallette Elementary School may need to address equity and inclusion issues, as well as investigate the root causes of the increasing chronic absenteeism to improve overall student outcomes.

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.
