Theodore Roosevelt School

Summary:

Theodore Roosevelt School is an elementary school in Weehawken, New Jersey, serving grades 3-6 with 347 students. The school is part of the Weehawken Public School District, which is ranked 446 out of 615 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Theodore Roosevelt School has a more diverse student population compared to nearby schools, with a higher percentage of Hispanic (51.3%) and Asian (7.78%) students. However, the school's academic performance, as measured by NJSLA test scores, is generally lower than state averages across all grade levels and subject areas, though on par with the Weehawken district. The school has also experienced a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 7.1% in 2016-2017 to 17.8% in 2021-2022, which is higher than the state average. Additionally, 42.36% of students receive free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a higher proportion of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds.

While Theodore Roosevelt School's performance is generally lower than state averages, it is comparable to other schools in the Weehawken district. However, some nearby schools in the Union City School District and West New York School District, such as Jefferson Elementary School and Theodore Roosevelt Elementary School, have higher academic performance and lower chronic absenteeism rates. The high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds and the increasing chronic absenteeism rate may be contributing factors to Theodore Roosevelt School's relatively lower academic performance compared to the state averages.

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.
