Radix Elementary

Summary:

Radix Elementary is a public elementary school located in Williamstown, New Jersey, serving grades PK-4 with a student population of 619. As part of the Monroe Township Public School District, which is ranked 380 out of 615 districts in New Jersey, Radix Elementary stands out as a strong-performing school with a diverse student population and effective support for economically disadvantaged students.

Radix Elementary consistently outperforms the district and the state of New Jersey in standardized test scores for both English Language Arts and Mathematics. In the 2022-2023 school year, 53.9% of 3rd graders and 61.6% of 4th graders at Radix Elementary were proficient or better in ELA, compared to the district's 39.3% and 55.5%, and the state's 42% and 51.3%, respectively. In Mathematics, Radix Elementary had 54.9% of 3rd graders and 45.6% of 4th graders proficient or better, outpacing the district and state. The school's diverse student population, with a higher percentage of African American (14.05%) and Hispanic (15.35%) students compared to nearby schools like James W. Lilley Elementary School and Winslow Township Elementary School One, is a notable strength.

Radix Elementary's relatively low percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, at 30.37% in the 2022-2023 school year, is another impressive factor, especially when compared to the nearby schools, which range from 25.74% to 58.71%. The school's ability to maintain strong academic performance despite having a higher percentage of low-socioeconomic status students is noteworthy. However, the school has experienced a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, from 4.3% in 2018-2019 to 9.7% in 2021-2022, which is higher than the nearby schools and an area that requires 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.
