Maple Road Elementary School stands out for its significantly higher percentage of white students (81.67%) compared to the surrounding schools, which have more diverse student populations. The school's academic performance has been mixed, with higher proficiency rates than the district and state in 4th and 5th grade English Language Arts, but lower proficiency in 3rd grade English Language Arts and all grade levels in Mathematics. Maple Road Elementary School also has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 10.7 to 11.1 over the past few years, which is lower than the nearby schools.

When compared to other schools in the West Milford Township Public School District, Maple Road Elementary School generally performs on par or slightly better in terms of academic proficiency and student-teacher ratio. However, it lags behind some of the higher-performing schools in the district, such as Apshawa Elementary School. The school's inconsistent academic performance and declining racial diversity suggest that there may be room for improvement, and further analysis and targeted interventions may be necessary to ensure that all students receive a high-quality education.

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.
