Ogdensburg Borough School

Summary:

Ogdensburg Borough School is a public elementary school serving 281 students in grades PK-8 in Ogdensburg, New Jersey. The school generally performs well academically, particularly in English Language Arts, but faces some challenges, including rising chronic absenteeism and potential equity concerns.

Ogdensburg Borough School has a significantly higher percentage of white students (80.43%) compared to the state average, and it outperforms the state on NJSLA assessments, with 58.6% of 3rd graders, 65.4% of 4th graders, and 72.7% of 6th graders scoring proficient or better in ELA, compared to state averages of 42%, 51.3%, and 49%, respectively. However, the school's statewide ranking has declined over the years, from 655 out of 1,353 elementary schools in 2016-2017 to 512 out of 1,342 in 2022-2023, suggesting it may be struggling to keep pace with improvements in other schools across the state. Additionally, the school's performance on subgroup rankings is mixed, with relatively high rankings for female and white students, but much lower rankings for male and special education students.

Compared to nearby schools, Ogdensburg Borough School generally outperforms many on metrics like test scores and student-teacher ratio, which is a favorable 10.3 in 2022-2023. However, some nearby schools, such as Alpine Elementary and Florence M. Burd, have higher statewide rankings and lower chronic absenteeism rates. The significant racial imbalance and the lower performance of male and special education students at Ogdensburg Borough School may indicate potential equity issues that the school and Ogdensburg Borough School District should address.

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.
