Denbo Crichton School

Summary:

Denbo Crichton School is an elementary school in Browns Mills, New Jersey, serving students from kindergarten to 5th grade as part of the Pemberton Township School District. The school faces significant challenges, with consistently low academic performance, high chronic absenteeism, and a student population that is predominantly economically disadvantaged.

Denbo Crichton School has a higher percentage of White students (51.93%) compared to the surrounding schools, which have a more diverse student population. The school consistently ranks in the bottom quarter of New Jersey elementary schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. Its proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics are significantly lower than the state averages, indicating academic challenges. Additionally, the school has a high chronic absenteeism rate, reaching 32.1% in the 2021-2022 school year, much higher than the state average.

While the surrounding schools in the Pemberton Township School District also struggle academically, with low rankings and proficiency rates, Denbo Crichton School consistently performs worse than its peers. For example, Fort Dix Elementary School, also in the Pemberton Township district, outperforms Denbo Crichton School in both English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency. The high percentage of economically disadvantaged students at Denbo Crichton School suggests the need for a comprehensive review of the school's educational strategies, resource allocation, and support systems to address the root causes of these issues and improve outcomes for the 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.

Data source: National Center for Education Statistics, U.S. Dept of Education.

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.
