Academically, the school's performance on NJSLA tests is generally below state and district averages across all grade levels and subjects. For example, in 2022-2023, Ivy Hill's English Language Arts proficiency rates ranged from 31.1% to 57.1%, while the state averages were 42% to 55.7%. In Mathematics, the school's proficiency rates were even lower, ranging from 0% to 22.7%, compared to the state averages of 17.8% to 45.9%. Additionally, Ivy Hill has had high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 12.0% to 26.6% over the past few years, significantly higher than the state average.

Compared to nearby schools, such as Mt. Vernon Place School and Burch Charter School of Excellence, Ivy Hill's academic performance is generally lower. However, the school's African American and Hispanic students perform better relative to their peers in the state, while the school's performance for English Language Learners and Special Education students is significantly lower. Addressing Ivy Hill's high chronic absenteeism rates could be a key focus for improvement, as this issue may be contributing to the school's overall academic underperformance.

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.
