Summary:

Maude M. Wilkins Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades 2-4 in the Maple Shade School District in New Jersey, with a student population of 554. The school has consistently low academic performance compared to the state and nearby schools, ranking in the bottom 15% of New Jersey elementary schools.

Maude M. Wilkins Elementary School's academic struggles are evident across multiple metrics. In the 2022-2023 school year, only 17.3% of 3rd graders and 31.6% of 4th graders were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to state averages of 42% and 51.3%. In mathematics, only 18.4% of 3rd graders and 15.8% of 4th graders were proficient or better, compared to state averages of 45.9% and 44.3%. The school's performance is particularly concerning when compared to nearby schools like Mary E. Roberts Elementary School in Moorestown, which had significantly higher proficiency rates.

Additionally, Maude M. Wilkins Elementary School faces challenges with chronic absenteeism, which has risen from 6.5% in 2016-2017 to 17.7% in 2021-2022, notably higher than the state average. The school also has a relatively high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with 44.04% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. These factors, combined with the school's declining academic performance and racial disparities in student achievement, suggest that the school and district may need to implement comprehensive strategies to address these issues and provide a high-quality education for all students.

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.
