Cranberry Pines Elementary

Summary:

Cranberry Pines Elementary is a public elementary school in Medford, New Jersey, serving 358 students from kindergarten to 5th grade. The school is part of the Medford Township School District, which is ranked 110 out of 615 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating.

Cranberry Pines Elementary consistently outperforms the state and district averages in standardized test scores, with 81.2% of 5th-grade students proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 79.2% in the district and 53.2% statewide. The school also ranks highly in the state for the performance of different student subgroups, including female students, male students, white students, and special education students. Additionally, Cranberry Pines has maintained relatively low chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 2.6% to 5.8% over the past several years, significantly lower than the state average.

While Cranberry Pines Elementary has a predominantly white student population, it has seen a slight increase in the percentage of students from other racial and ethnic backgrounds over the past three years. The school generally outperforms nearby schools in the Medford Township School District, as well as some schools in the neighboring Evesham Township School District. However, the low percentage of free/reduced lunch recipients at Cranberry Pines, ranging from 1.92% to 2.56% over the past three years, suggests that the school may not be serving a socioeconomically diverse population, which could raise questions about equity and access to high-quality education for students from lower-income families in the area.

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.
