Madison Park Elementary School

Summary:

Madison Park Elementary School is a public elementary school in Parlin, New Jersey, serving 285 students from kindergarten to 5th grade. It is part of the Old Bridge Township School District, which is ranked 224 out of 613 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Madison Park Elementary School has consistently outperformed the state average in NJSLA/English Language Arts and Mathematics assessments across grades 3-5. In the 2023-2024 school year, the school's 5th-grade students achieved 70.5% proficiency in NJSLA/English Language Arts, significantly higher than the state average of 52.3%. The school's 3rd-grade students also performed well, with 69.4% proficiency in NJSLA/Mathematics, compared to the state average of 47.6%. Additionally, the school has shown strong performance among specific student subgroups, such as Hispanic students and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, ranking highly compared to their peers statewide.

While Madison Park Elementary School generally performs on par or better than other schools in the Old Bridge Township School District, some nearby schools, such as Alan B. Shepard Elementary School, have shown even stronger academic performance. However, Madison Park Elementary School's relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 9.4 to 11.1 students per teacher, may contribute to its strong academic results. The school's high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 13.8% to 18.1% over the past few school years, are an area of concern that warrants further attention and intervention.

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.
