Summary:

Union Township Elementary School consistently performs well on state assessments, with 66% of 3rd graders proficient or better in ELA and 78% proficient or better in Math in the 2023-2024 school year. These scores are significantly higher than the state averages of 43.6% in ELA and 47.6% in Math for 3rd grade. The school also excels in supporting the academic success of specific student subgroups, such as female, male, white, and special education students, all of whom rank in the top 25% of New Jersey elementary schools.

Compared to nearby schools, Round Valley has lower proficiency rates in both ELA and Math, as well as higher chronic absenteeism and free/reduced lunch rates. However, Union Township Elementary School's very low free and reduced-price lunch rates, ranging from 1.46% to 2.56% over the past few years, may indicate a lack of socioeconomic diversity, which could raise concerns about equity and access to educational opportunities for students from disadvantaged backgrounds.

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.
