North Main Street Elementary School

Summary:

North Main Street Elementary School is a public elementary school in Pleasantville, New Jersey, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 316 students. The school is part of the Pleasantville Public School District, which is ranked 592 out of 613 districts in the state.

North Main Street Elementary School has consistently ranked in the bottom 20% of New Jersey elementary schools over the past 10 years, with low proficiency rates on state assessments across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2023-2024, only 33.3% of 3rd graders, 29.2% of 4th graders, and 41.3% of 5th graders were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to the state averages of 43.6%, 50.8%, and 52.3%, respectively. The school's performance on mathematics and science assessments is even lower. When compared to the nearby South Main Street Elementary School and Leeds Avenue Elementary School, North Main Street Elementary School generally performs worse across all subject areas and grade levels.

The school serves a diverse student population, with 81.01% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds. Despite the higher per-student spending and relatively small class sizes, North Main Street Elementary School is still underperforming, suggesting that the school may need to re-evaluate how it is allocating its resources and implement more targeted and effective instructional strategies. Additionally, the school has struggled with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 16.6% to 27.7% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state average and likely contributes to the school's low academic performance.

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.
