Alexander Hamilton

Summary:

Alexander Hamilton is an elementary school located in Morristown, New Jersey, serving grades 3-5 with a total enrollment of 272 students. The school is part of the Morris School District, which is ranked 292 out of 615 districts in New Jersey and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Alexander Hamilton stands out from nearby schools like Thomas Jefferson School and Normandy Park School in several key ways. The school has a significantly higher Hispanic student population (57.35%) compared to the surrounding schools, which range from 13.69% to 44.48% Hispanic students. Additionally, Alexander Hamilton's test scores are generally lower than the district and state averages across various subjects and grade levels, and the school has experienced a steady increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 4.7% in 2016-2017 to 10.0% in 2021-2022, which is higher than the neighboring schools.

Further analysis reveals that while Alexander Hamilton has a higher percentage of Hispanic students, this group's academic performance lags behind their White and Asian peers. The school also has a significantly higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (54.04%) compared to the nearby schools, which range from 6.57% to 48.41%. Despite these challenges, the school's low student-teacher ratio of 9.1 suggests that there may be opportunities for targeted interventions and resource allocation to address the academic and attendance issues faced by Alexander Hamilton.

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.
