Washington Elementary School

Summary:

Washington Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 329 students in grades K-5 in the Westwood Regional School District in New Jersey. The school consistently performs above the state average in academic assessments, ranking in the top 25% of New Jersey elementary schools, with particularly strong performance in English Language Arts and Mathematics.

Washington Elementary School's academic performance is generally stronger than the nearby Brookside Elementary School and Jessie F. George Elementary, which are also part of the Westwood Regional School District. However, the nearby Berkeley Elementary outperforms Washington Elementary in several academic metrics, particularly in English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency rates. Additionally, elementary schools in the Paramus Public School District and Ridgewood Public School District, such as Parkway Elementary and Travell Elementary, also outperform Washington Elementary in certain academic areas.

While Washington Elementary School's overall academic performance is strong, there are some areas that warrant further investigation. The school's performance for special education students is relatively lower compared to the overall student population, and the academic outcomes of specific racial/ethnic groups, such as African American and Hispanic students, are not readily available in the data provided. Exploring these areas could provide valuable insights and identify opportunities for improvement to ensure all students at Washington Elementary School receive the support they need to succeed.

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.
