Bobby's Run Elementary School

Summary:

Bobby's Run Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Lumberton, New Jersey, serving grades 2-5 with a total enrollment of 448 students. The school is part of the Lumberton Township Board of Education district, which is ranked 473 out of 613 districts in New Jersey and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Academically, Bobby's Run Elementary School consistently ranks in the bottom half of New Jersey elementary schools, with proficiency rates on state assessments below the state average across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's proficiency rates were 31% in 3rd grade ELA, 48.7% in 4th grade ELA, and 25% in 5th grade Math, compared to the state averages of 43.6%, 50.8%, and 40.1%, respectively. The school's performance on science assessments is also below the state average, with only 19.2% of 5th graders proficient or better in 2023-2024, compared to the state average of 27.5%.

Interestingly, the school's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with African American students performing better than White students and students with special needs. However, the school's overall high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 14.7% to 18.4% over the past 4 years, and a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, may be contributing factors to the school's lower academic performance. In comparison, nearby schools in the Mount Laurel Township School District, such as Larchmont Elementary School and Fleetwood Elementary School, generally perform better on state assessments and have lower chronic absenteeism rates.

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.

Open Quote This school is sweeping under the rug what is really happening. In my son's class his teacher put her hands on a student and was fired without any public attention which I think was much needed, and they are also covering up all of the physical fights that are happening in 5th grade.

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.
