Jordan Road Elementary School

Summary:

Jordan Road Elementary School is a public middle school located in Somers Point, New Jersey, serving grades 4-8 with a total enrollment of 384 students. The school is part of the Somers Point School District, which is ranked 552 out of 615 districts in New Jersey and has a rating of 1 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger.

Jordan Road Elementary School faces several challenges, including a diverse student population, lower academic performance compared to state and nearby school averages, high chronic absenteeism rates, and a high proportion of students from low-income families. For example, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts range from 16.2% to 46.1%, significantly lower than the state averages of 49% to 55.7%. In Mathematics, the proficiency rates range from 7.1% to 22.5%, also much lower than the state averages of 17.8% to 44.3%. When compared to nearby middle schools like Upper Township Middle School and Belhaven Middle School, which have much higher proficiency rates, Jordan Road Elementary School's performance is significantly lower.

The high rates of chronic absenteeism at Jordan Road Elementary School, ranging from 9.7% to 28.7%, may be linked to the school's high percentage of students from low-income families, as indicated by the free and reduced lunch rates of 52.62% to 62.8%. This suggests a potential correlation between socioeconomic status and attendance patterns. To address these issues, the school and Somers Point School District may need to implement targeted interventions, such as attendance-improvement programs, academic support for struggling students, and initiatives to engage families and address socioeconomic barriers to learning.

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.
