Lenox School

Summary:

Lenox School is an elementary school in Pompton Lakes, New Jersey, serving students from kindergarten to 5th grade as part of the Pompton Lakes School District. The school has seen a decline in racial diversity in recent years, with the percentage of white students increasing and Hispanic students decreasing.

Academically, Lenox School's performance on state assessments has been mixed. While 4th and 5th-grade students scored above the district and state averages in English Language Arts, 3rd-grade students lagged behind. In math, 3rd-grade students performed better than the district but lower than the state, while 4th and 5th-grade students were close to the district and state averages. The school's 5th-grade science proficiency rate was also lower than the district and state. Interestingly, Lenox School's Hispanic, special education, and low-income students performed relatively well, while white students struggled in comparison to other schools.

Another area of concern is Lenox School's chronic absenteeism rate, which has sharply increased from 2.5% in 2016-2017 to 10.7% in 2021-2022. Additionally, the school's spending per student of $9,988 in 2018-2019 was lower than some nearby schools, such as Lincoln School ($14,057) and Dogwood Hill Elementary School ($13,907).

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.
