Emma Arleth Elementary School

Summary:

Emma Arleth Elementary School is a public K-3 school in Parlin, New Jersey, serving a diverse student population of over 500 students. While the school has shown some strengths, such as strong performance for certain subgroups, it also faces challenges in academic proficiency and high rates of chronic absenteeism.

Academically, Emma Arleth Elementary School has had mixed results compared to state and district averages. In the 2022-2023 school year, only 33.6% of 3rd graders were proficient or better in English Language Arts, lower than the 42% state average and 43.7% in the Sayreville School District. In math, 44.8% of 3rd graders were proficient, also below the state and district averages. The school's performance has fluctuated in recent years, with higher proficiency rates in 2021-2022 but lower rates in 2022-2023. Interestingly, nearby Woodrow Wilson Elementary outperformed Emma Arleth in both English and math for 3rd graders.

Another area of concern is the sharp increase in chronic absenteeism at Emma Arleth Elementary, from 6.0% in 2017-2018 to 22.8% in 2021-2022. This is notably higher than the state average and the rates of nearby schools like Dwight D. Eisenhower Elementary (20.5%) and Woodrow Wilson Elementary (19.9%). The school's diverse population, with 32.72% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, may be a contributing factor to these academic and attendance challenges.

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.
