Gregory Elementary School

Summary:

Gregory Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Long Branch, New Jersey, serving students from kindergarten to 5th grade. With a total enrollment of 600 students, the school is part of the Long Branch Public School District, which is ranked 580 out of 613 districts in New Jersey and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Gregory Elementary School consistently ranks in the bottom 10-15% of New Jersey elementary schools, with a statewide ranking between 1067 and 1256 out of around 1,350 schools over the past 10 years. The school's performance on standardized tests is significantly below the state and district averages, with only 4.6% of 3rd-grade students proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to the state average of 43.6% and the district average of 9.9%. Additionally, Gregory Elementary School has had high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 16.6% to 28% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state and district averages. The school also has a high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 80-87% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in recent years.

The challenges faced by Gregory Elementary School are not isolated but rather a systemic problem within the Long Branch Public School District, as nearby schools within the district also perform poorly on standardized tests and have high rates of chronic absenteeism and students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds. In contrast, nearby schools in other districts, such as Meadowbrook in Eatontown, Point Road School in Little Silver, Monmouth Beach Elementary in Monmouth Beach, and Betty McElmon Elementary in West Long Branch, consistently perform significantly better on standardized tests and have lower rates of chronic absenteeism and students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds.

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.
