Port Republic Elementary School

Summary:

Port Republic Elementary School is a small public school serving grades K-8 in the town of Port Republic, New Jersey, with a student population of just 108 students. Despite its small size, this school stands out for its consistently strong academic performance, low chronic absenteeism, and unique student demographics compared to the surrounding schools.

Academically, Port Republic Elementary School consistently outperforms the state averages in both English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency across all grade levels. For example, in the 2022-2023 school year, the school had 68.8% proficiency in 4th grade ELA and 68.8% proficiency in 4th grade Math, compared to the state averages of 51.3% and 44.3%, respectively. This high level of academic achievement is further reflected in the school's low chronic absenteeism rate of just 3.7% in 2021-2022, much lower than the surrounding schools. Additionally, Port Republic Elementary has a very low student-teacher ratio of 9.6, indicating personalized attention for students.

One notable characteristic of Port Republic Elementary School is its student population, which is significantly less diverse than the surrounding schools. In the 2022-2023 school year, the school had a student body that was 97.22% white, in contrast to the more diverse student populations at nearby schools like Charles L. Spragg School and Leeds Avenue Elementary School. This racial homogeneity may be an area for the school to explore in terms of promoting diversity and inclusion. Additionally, the school serves a relatively affluent student population, with only 2.78% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, compared to higher rates at the surrounding Egg Harbor City School District and Pleasantville Public School District.

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.
