Lindenwold School Five

Summary:

Lindenwold School Five is an elementary school in Lindenwold, New Jersey, serving 593 students from kindergarten to 4th grade. The school is part of the Lindenwold Public School District, which is ranked 589 out of 613 districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Lindenwold School Five faces significant challenges, with consistently low academic performance compared to state and district averages. In the 2023-2024 school year, only 16.5% of 3rd graders and 46.8% of 4th graders were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to state averages of 43.6% and 50.8%, respectively. The school's mathematics performance is also concerning, with only 18% of 3rd graders and 35.8% of 4th graders proficient or better, compared to state averages of 47.6% and 45%. Additionally, Lindenwold School Five has high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 16.6% to 23.1% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state average.

Interestingly, the school's performance is generally lower than that of nearby schools, such as Erial Elementary School and Gloucester Township Elementary School, which are part of the Gloucester Township Public Schools district. These nearby schools, while still below the state averages in many areas, tend to outperform Lindenwold School Five across various academic measures. The school's spending per student ($7,851 in 2018-2019) is also lower than the state average and some of the nearby schools, suggesting that the challenges may not be primarily due to resource constraints or staffing levels.

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.
