Sicomac Elementary School

Summary:

Sicomac Elementary School is a public elementary school in Wyckoff, New Jersey, serving 355 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Wyckoff Township Public School District, which is ranked 98 out of 615 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating.

Sicomac Elementary School consistently performs well academically, with a higher percentage of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and Mathematics compared to the state average. For example, in 2022-2023, 78.4% of 5th-grade students were proficient or better in ELA, compared to the state average of 53.2%. However, the school has a relatively homogeneous student population, with 82.82% of students identifying as White, which is higher than the nearby schools. Sicomac Elementary School also has a low chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 2.2% to 7.5% over the past few years, and a very low percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 0.85% to 1.01%.

When compared to the nearby schools, such as Highland Elementary School, Roosevelt Elementary School, and Godwin Elementary School, Sicomac Elementary School generally outperforms them in academic achievement, has a lower chronic absenteeism rate, and serves a more homogeneous student population. This suggests that Sicomac Elementary School is a high-performing school, but it also raises questions about equity and access for more diverse and economically disadvantaged students in the surrounding area.

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.
