Lillian Drive School

Summary:

Lillian Drive School is an elementary school located in Hazlet, New Jersey, serving 258 students in grades 1-4. It is part of the Hazlet Township Public School District, which is ranked 355 out of 615 districts in the state.

Compared to nearby schools, Lillian Drive School has a higher percentage of White students (72.09%) and a lower percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (18.99%), suggesting a relatively more affluent student population. However, the school's academic performance, as measured by NJSLA test scores, is generally on par with or slightly below the district and state averages. For example, the school's 3rd-grade English Language Arts proficiency rate was 33.8% in 2022-2023, compared to the district's 40.7% and the state's 42%. Additionally, the school has experienced fluctuations in its chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 2.8% in 2020-2021 to 10.9% in 2021-2022, which is an area of concern.

Interestingly, Lillian Drive School's performance on NJSLA tests varies significantly by student subgroup. The school's Hispanic students consistently outperform the White students, ranking in the top 226-333 out of 982-896 New Jersey elementary schools in English Language Arts and Mathematics. In contrast, the school's White students rank in the bottom 509-674 out of 975-964 New Jersey elementary schools. This suggests that the school may need to address the academic needs of its White student population to ensure equitable and high-quality education for all students.

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.
