A A Anastasia Elementary School consistently performs below the state and district averages on standardized tests. For example, in 2023-2024, only 13.3% of 3rd graders were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 43.6% statewide. The school's performance is also lower than nearby schools like Point Road School and Monmouth Beach Elementary School. Additionally, the school has high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 16.6% to 28% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state average.

The data reveals a stark contrast in academic performance between A A Anastasia Elementary School and nearby schools in more affluent districts. These higher-performing schools consistently achieve proficiency rates well above the state average, while A A Anastasia struggles. The school's challenges are further exacerbated by its location within a low-performing school district and the high percentage of students from low-income families, with 76.49% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in 2022-2023. Addressing these issues will require a comprehensive, equity-focused approach that addresses the unique needs of the school's diverse student population.

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.
