Olivet Elementary School faces several challenges, including a significantly higher percentage of white students (79.82%) compared to the surrounding schools, which tend to have more diverse student populations. The school's test scores in both English Language Arts and Mathematics are generally lower than the state averages, with only 34.5% of 3rd graders and 51.4% of 4th graders proficient or better in ELA, and 25.7% of 3rd graders and 40% of 4th graders proficient or better in Mathematics. Additionally, Olivet Elementary School has seen a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 2.9% in 2018-2019 to 17.2% in 2021-2022, which is higher than the state average.

Compared to the nearby schools, such as Herma S. Simmons Elementary School, Compass Academy Charter School, and Marie Durand Elementary School, Olivet Elementary School has a higher percentage of white students and lower rates of free and reduced-price lunch recipients. However, its test scores and chronic absenteeism rates are generally worse than the surrounding schools. The challenges faced by Olivet Elementary School may be reflective of broader district-level issues, as the Pittsgrove Township School District is also struggling, with a low 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

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.
