Summary:

Winfield Township is an elementary school serving grades PK-8 in Winfield Park, New Jersey, with a student population of 135. The school is part of the Clark Township Public School District, which is ranked 414 out of 615 districts in New Jersey and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Winfield Township performs relatively well on English Language Arts (ELA) assessments, with 3rd, 6th, and 8th grade students scoring above the state average, the school struggles with mathematics, with proficiency rates well below the state average across all grade levels. Additionally, Winfield Township has seen a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 0.9% in 2018-2019 to 24.0% in 2021-2022, which is much higher than the surrounding schools. The school also has a lower percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (20%) compared to many of the nearby schools, such as Number 9 and Hillside Avenue School, which have rates ranging from 3.8% to 61.88%.

Winfield Township's performance on both ELA and mathematics assessments is generally lower than the nearby schools in the Cranford Public School District, Linden Public School District, and Rahway Public School District, which tend to have higher test scores, lower chronic absenteeism, and lower percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. Additionally, Winfield Township has seen a significant decline in mathematics proficiency, with 0% of 6th and 7th grade students scoring proficient or above in 2022-2023, a concerning trend that warrants further investigation and intervention.

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.
