Huber Street School

Summary:

Huber Street School is an elementary school in Secaucus, New Jersey, serving students from pre-kindergarten to 5th grade. The school has seen a shift in its racial makeup, with an increasing percentage of Asian students. While the school's overall performance is mixed, it faces challenges in addressing chronic absenteeism and supporting the academic needs of its diverse student population.

Huber Street School's academic performance has declined in recent years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 419 out of 1,317 New Jersey elementary schools in 2020-2021 to 722 out of 1,342 in 2022-2023. The school's performance on state assessments is also mixed, with 5th-grade students performing better than the state average in English Language Arts, but 3rd and 4th-grade students lagging behind. In Mathematics and Science, the school's performance is below the state average across all grade levels. The school's performance also varies significantly across different student subgroups, with Asian and Hispanic students generally performing better than White students and students with special needs.

Compared to nearby schools, Huber Street School's performance is generally on par with or slightly better than the Clarendon School, which is also part of the Secaucus School District. However, when compared to schools in the neighboring North Bergen and Union City school districts, Huber Street School's performance is significantly better, particularly in Mathematics and Science. This may be due to the school's lower percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting a more diverse socioeconomic makeup compared to the nearby high-poverty schools.

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.
