Oxford Central School

Summary:

Oxford Central School is an elementary school serving grades PK-8 in Oxford, New Jersey, with a student population of 249. The school is part of the Oxford Township School District, which is ranked 400 out of 615 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Academically, Oxford Central School has shown mixed performance compared to the state and nearby schools. While it outperforms the state average in some grade levels and subjects, such as 6th grade ELA and 4th grade Math, it underperforms in others, particularly in 8th grade Math and Science. This uneven performance is reflected in the school's ranking, which has fluctuated between 511 and 858 out of 1,317-1,360 New Jersey elementary schools over the past several years. However, the school has shown strong performance for its low socioeconomic status students, ranking 47th out of 910 New Jersey elementary schools in this category for the 2022-2023 school year.

One notable challenge for Oxford Central School is its high chronic absenteeism rate, which has risen from 3.4% in 2017-2018 to 25.9% in 2021-2022, significantly higher than the state average and most nearby schools, such as Central Elementary School, Hampton Borough School, and Franklin Township School. However, the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 9.2, which is lower than the ratios of most nearby schools and the state average, potentially providing more individualized attention to 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.
