Lodi High School

Summary:

Lodi High School is a public high school serving 907 students in grades 9-12 in Lodi, New Jersey, which is part of the Lodi School District. The school's academic performance is generally on par with or slightly above the state averages in English Language Arts and Algebra I, but lags behind in Geometry and Science. Lodi High School ranks highly for African American students and low socioeconomic status students, but struggles with Asian students and special education students.

Lodi High School has a 91.1% four-year graduation rate, which is on par with the state average, but its dropout rate of 1.2% is slightly higher. The school has seen its chronic absenteeism rate fluctuate between 6.5% and 18.1% over the past few years, which is generally higher than the state average. Compared to nearby schools, Lodi High School generally performs better than Memorial Senior High School and Garfield High School, but lags behind the highly-ranked Hasbrouck Heights High School and Bergen County Technical High School - Teterboro.

Lodi High School's strong performance for low socioeconomic status students and African American students suggests that the school is effectively supporting these traditionally underserved populations. However, the school's struggles with Asian and special education students indicate areas for improvement. Additionally, Lodi High School's ranking and performance metrics have fluctuated significantly over the past decade, suggesting that the school may be facing challenges in maintaining consistent academic excellence, potentially due to its lower spending per student compared to nearby high-performing schools.

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.
