Silver Bay Elementary School

Summary:

Silver Bay Elementary School is a public elementary school in Toms River, New Jersey, serving students from pre-kindergarten to 5th grade as part of the Toms River Regional School District. The school stands out for its generally higher test scores compared to the district and state, but also has a significantly higher percentage of white students and a recent increase in chronic absenteeism that bears watching.

One of Silver Bay Elementary's key strengths is its academic performance, with students outperforming the Toms River Regional School District and New Jersey as a whole on NJSLA assessments in English Language Arts and Mathematics. However, the school's racial makeup is notably less diverse than nearby schools like East Dover Elementary School and Emma Havens Young Elementary School, which have higher percentages of minority and economically disadvantaged students. This contrast suggests socioeconomic factors may play a role in Silver Bay's stronger academic results.

Another area of concern is Silver Bay Elementary's recent increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 6.1% in 2020-2021 to 17.4% in 2021-2022. This is an important metric to monitor, as schools with higher chronic absenteeism rates, such as Walnut Street Elementary School and East Dover Elementary School, tend to have lower test scores. Overall, Silver Bay Elementary appears to be a relatively strong-performing school, but its racial and socioeconomic makeup, as well as the recent rise in chronic absenteeism, are factors that warrant further attention and support.

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.
