Brunswick Acres Elementary School

Summary:

Brunswick Acres Elementary School is a public K-5 school in Kendall Park, New Jersey, serving a diverse student population of over 600 students. The school has consistently performed well academically, ranking in the top 30% of New Jersey elementary schools over the past decade.

One of the key factors that sets Brunswick Acres apart is its racial diversity, with a significantly higher percentage of Asian students (52.58%) compared to nearby schools, which range from 19.87% to 65.17% Asian. While the school's overall academic performance is strong, the data reveals some racial disparities, with Asian students consistently outperforming their African American, Hispanic, and White peers. The school's leadership and the South Brunswick School District should investigate these achievement gaps and implement targeted interventions to ensure all students are reaching their full potential.

Compared to other elementary schools in the area, Brunswick Acres generally performs on par or slightly below the top-performing schools, such as Monmouth Junction Elementary School and Cambridge Elementary School. However, it significantly outperforms the elementary schools in the neighboring North Brunswick Township and Franklin Township school districts. One area of concern is the school's relatively high chronic absenteeism rate, which the school and district should address to improve student learning and achievement.

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.
