Normandy Park School

Summary:

Normandy Park School is an elementary school in Morristown, New Jersey, serving 347 students from kindergarten to 5th grade. As part of the Morris School District, Normandy Park consistently outperforms the district and state in academic achievement, with particularly strong results for White, Hispanic, and female students.

Normandy Park's diverse student population is 42.94% Hispanic and 44.09% White, higher than the state average. The school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics are significantly above the district and state levels. Compared to nearby schools like Thomas Jefferson School and Alexander Hamilton, Normandy Park's academic performance is particularly impressive. However, the school has seen a concerning increase in chronic absenteeism, from 3.0% in 2017-2018 to 13.6% in 2021-2022, an issue the school should address.

Normandy Park's student-teacher ratio is relatively low, ranging from 9.1 to 9.9 over the past three years, lower than other Morris School District schools. The school also has a lower percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (27.67%) compared to nearby schools like Hillcrest School (48.41%) and Lafayette Learning Center (53.64%), suggesting a more affluent student population that may contribute to the school's strong academic performance.

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.

Open Quote Our daughter is in her second year at NPS (currently a younger in a 2-3 classroom). I am consistently impressed with the quality of school leadership and the educator team. Our daughter benefits from attentive teachers, high standards, the mixed age dynamic, and all of the other wonderful resources within the school and larger NPS community (e.g., artists in residence programs, service projects, HSA programs, etc.) I'm particularly impressed with how the NPS staff promote and maintain a positive and compassionate school culture. If ever a concern arises, parents are assured that it will be addressed in the most thoughtful and appropriate manner. Close Quote

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.
