Emma Havens Young Elementary School

Summary:

Emma Havens Young Elementary School is a public elementary school in Brick, New Jersey, serving 756 students from kindergarten to 5th grade. The school is part of the Brick Township Public School District, which has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While the school has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (43.39%), its academic performance is a significant concern. Emma Havens Young Elementary consistently underperforms compared to state and district averages in standardized tests for English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, the school's 3rd-grade English Language Arts proficiency rate was 28.8%, compared to the district's 36.8% and the state's 43.6%. The school's chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 16.6% to 21.1% in recent years, is also higher than the state average.

Interestingly, nearby schools within the Brick Township Public School District, such as Lanes Mill Elementary School, Midstreams Elementary School, and Drum Point Road Elementary School, generally perform better than Emma Havens Young Elementary School in academic assessments and have lower chronic absenteeism rates. However, schools in the Toms River Regional School District and the Point Pleasant Borough School District, such as North Dover Elementary School and Nellie F. Bennett Elementary School, also outperform Emma Havens Young Elementary School in academic measures.

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.

Open Quote This may just seem like a regular school, but our sources come from the kids. One kid says "They try to make school super fun, but they try too hard. Many teacher are rude or just get annoyed about small things." That made us start thinking if it is the teachers fault for the ratings of this school. Close Quote

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.
