Northeast Elementary School

Summary:

Northeast Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Upper Montclair, New Jersey, serving around 360 students from kindergarten to 5th grade. The school is part of the Montclair Public School District, which is ranked 148 out of 615 school districts in the state.

Northeast Elementary School consistently ranks in the top 25% of New Jersey elementary schools, with students outperforming state and district averages on the NJSLA tests, particularly in 5th-grade English Language Arts (68.3% proficiency) and Mathematics (80% proficiency). The school's performance is especially noteworthy for its African American and Hispanic student subgroups, which rank in the top 15% and top 35% of New Jersey elementary schools, respectively. Additionally, Northeast Elementary maintains a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 9.7 to 12.5 students per teacher, which is lower than nearby schools like Edgemont Elementary School and School #14.

While Northeast Elementary School performs well overall, there are a few areas for potential improvement, such as the school's chronic absenteeism rate, which has increased from 3.1% in 2016-2017 to 11.3% in 2021-2022. Additionally, the school's performance on the NJSLA-S (Science) assessment for 5th-grade students, while still above the state average, could be an area of focus. Nevertheless, Northeast Elementary School's consistent academic excellence, strong support for racial equity, and comparatively low student-teacher ratio make it an attractive option for families in the Upper Montclair 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.
