North Boulevard School

Summary:

North Boulevard School is an elementary school in Pompton Plains, New Jersey, serving 335 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Pequannock Township School District, which is ranked 100 out of 615 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating.

North Boulevard School stands out for its strong academic performance, consistently ranking in the top 25% of New Jersey elementary schools over the past decade with a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. However, the school has a significantly higher percentage of white students (88.36%) compared to nearby schools, and its performance varies by student subgroup, with female and white students outperforming their male and non-white counterparts. Additionally, North Boulevard School has seen a concerning increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 1.3% in 2016-2017 to 11.1% in 2021-2022, which is higher than the state average.

When compared to other schools in the Pequannock Township School District, North Boulevard School performs well academically, with higher proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics than the district and state averages. However, it lags behind the top-performing Hillview School in several academic metrics. The school's higher per-student spending of $13,107, compared to the nearby Stephen J. Gerace School at $8,745, may contribute to its stronger academic performance, but the school should continue to explore ways to address achievement gaps and chronic absenteeism.

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.
