Luis Munoz-Rivera Elementary School

Summary:

Luis Munoz-Rivera Elementary School is a public K-3 school in Trenton, New Jersey, serving 366 students, the majority of whom are African American and Hispanic. Unfortunately, this school has extremely low academic performance, with only 1.1% of 3rd-grade students proficient in English Language Arts and 5.4% proficient in Mathematics, far below the Trenton Public School District and state averages.

The school's struggles are not unique - the other elementary schools in the Trenton district that are nearby also have very low rankings and academic outcomes, suggesting systemic challenges within the district. Factors like high rates of poverty, chronic absenteeism, and low per-student spending likely contribute to the poor performance. However, one outlier is Washington Elementary School, which had significantly higher test scores than its peers, indicating that successful strategies could potentially be replicated across the district.

Overall, the data paints a concerning picture of the quality of education at Luis Munoz-Rivera Elementary School and the surrounding Trenton Public School District. Addressing the systemic challenges will be crucial to improving outcomes for the students in this community.

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.

Data source: National Center for Education Statistics, U.S. Dept of Education.

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.
