Swimming River School

Summary:

Swimming River School is an elementary school located in Tinton Falls, New Jersey, serving grades 3-5 with a total enrollment of 454 students. The school is part of the Tinton Falls School District, which is ranked 228 out of 615 districts in New Jersey and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Swimming River School has a relatively diverse student population, with 64.54% White, 8.81% African American, 15.42% Hispanic, and 6.61% Asian students. This diversity is higher compared to some nearby schools like Nut Swamp Elementary School (89.8% White) and Point Road School (89.19% White). Academically, the school's performance is generally on par with or slightly above the state and district averages, but it has experienced a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, from 3.5% in 2016-2017 to 14.2% in 2021-2022, which is higher than nearby schools like Nut Swamp Elementary School (6.7%) and Point Road School (3.5%).

Despite its consistent 3-star rating from SchoolDigger, Swimming River School's performance varies across different student subgroups. The school ranks relatively high for Hispanic students (ranked 265 out of 982 NJ elementary schools in 2022-2023) and Special Education students (ranked 287 out of 958 NJ elementary schools in 2022-2023), but lower for Asian students (ranked 268 out of 346 NJ elementary schools in 2022-2023) and African American students (ranked 363 out of 463 NJ elementary schools in 2022-2023). These findings suggest that factors beyond just socioeconomic status may be influencing the school's academic performance, and further investigation into the school's instructional practices and support for specific student subgroups could provide valuable insights.

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.
