Long Beach Island Grade School

Summary:

Long Beach Island Grade School is a public elementary school serving grades 3-6 in the Long Beach Island Consolidated School District in Ship Bottom, New Jersey, with a student population of 98.

The school has some unique characteristics, including a significantly higher percentage of White students (80.61%) compared to surrounding schools, which range from 65-90% White. Academically, the school has mixed performance on standardized tests, with lower proficiency in 3rd and 5th grade English and Math but higher proficiency in 4th and 6th grade. The school also has a very low student-teacher ratio of 5.5, much lower than the 7.4 to 14.0 range of nearby schools, suggesting more individualized attention. However, the school has seen a steady increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 8.9% in 2017-2018 to 16.0% in 2021-2022, which is higher than the 10-27% range of surrounding schools.

Compared to nearby schools like Ethel A. Jacobsen Elementary School and Beach Haven School, Long Beach Island Grade School has a higher percentage of White students and lower chronic absenteeism, but its academic performance on standardized tests is more mixed. The school's high spending of $22,591 per student, significantly more than the $4,804 to $16,244 range of surrounding schools, does not appear to directly translate to consistently strong outcomes, suggesting the need for further analysis and potential improvements.

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.
