Merriam Avenue School

Summary:

Merriam Avenue School is an elementary school in Newton, New Jersey, serving 458 students in grades PK-4. The school is part of the Newton Public School District, which is ranked 411 out of 615 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Merriam Avenue School stands out for its diverse student population, with 49.13% White, 36.03% Hispanic, and 8.73% African American students. However, the school has seen a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 9.6% in 2016-2017 to 33.1% in 2021-2022, which is notably higher than the state average and most surrounding schools. Academically, Merriam Avenue School's performance on NJSLA tests is generally below state and district averages, with only 37.3% of 3rd-grade students and 41.1% of 4th-grade students proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to state averages of 42% and 51.3%, respectively. The school's mathematics performance is also below state and district levels. Interestingly, African American and Hispanic students at Merriam Avenue School perform relatively better than their White and Special Education peers, who rank in the bottom quartile of New Jersey elementary schools.

Merriam Avenue School's challenges are further highlighted by its declining statewide ranking, from 760 out of 1,353 New Jersey elementary schools in 2017-2018 to 869 out of 1,342 in 2022-2023. This suggests the school is not keeping pace with improvements in other schools across the state. Additionally, the school has a higher percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 39.08% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, compared to the surrounding schools, which generally have lower percentages of economically disadvantaged students. Addressing the issues of chronic absenteeism, academic performance, and subgroup disparities will be crucial for Merriam Avenue School to provide a high-quality education for all its students.

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.
