Wenonah Elementary School

Summary:

Wenonah Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-6 in Wenonah, New Jersey, with 166 students and a predominantly White student population. The school consistently outperforms the state average on standardized tests, has very low chronic absenteeism rates, and maintains a favorable student-teacher ratio compared to nearby schools.

Wenonah Elementary School stands out for its strong academic performance, with significantly higher proficiency rates than the state in both English Language Arts and Mathematics across all grade levels. For example, 72% of 3rd graders were proficient or better in ELA, compared to the state average of 42%. The school also has extremely low chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 0.6% to 6.1% over the past several years, much lower than the state average and nearby schools like Good Intent Elementary (8.5%) and West End Memorial Elementary (28.0%). Additionally, Wenonah Elementary has a very low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 8.3 to 9.6 over the past three years, significantly better than the nearby schools, which have ratios ranging from 10.2 to 12.4.

The data reveals stark contrasts between Wenonah Elementary School and some of the nearby schools, particularly in terms of academic performance, chronic absenteeism, and student demographics. For example, West End Memorial Elementary, which is only about 2.8 miles away, has significantly lower test scores, higher chronic absenteeism, and a much higher percentage of students qualifying for free/reduced lunch. These disparities may raise concerns about educational equity and access to high-quality learning opportunities for all students in the region.

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.
