Private Nicholas Minue Elementary School

Summary:

Private Nicholas Minue Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Carteret, New Jersey, serving grades PK-4 with a total enrollment of 508 students. The school is part of the Carteret Public School District, which is ranked 499 out of 613 districts in New Jersey and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Private Nicholas Minue Elementary School consistently performs better than the Carteret Public School District and the state of New Jersey in standardized test scores for both English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics. In the 2023-2024 school year, the school's 3rd grade ELA proficiency rate was 44.2%, compared to 34.4% for the district and 43.6% for the state. Similarly, the 4th grade ELA proficiency rate was 47.2%, compared to 36.5% for the district and 50.8% for the state. In Mathematics, the school's 3rd grade proficiency rate was 51.1%, compared to 33.4% for the district and 47.6% for the state. The 4th grade Mathematics proficiency rate was 38.9%, compared to 31.2% for the district and 45% for the state.

However, the school faces some challenges, including a concerning trend of increasing chronic absenteeism, rising from 18.1% in 2021-2022 to 22.9% in 2022-2023. Additionally, a significant portion of the school's student population, around 62-67%, are recipients of free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage. While Private Nicholas Minue Elementary School generally outperforms the other public elementary schools in the Carteret district, as well as some nearby schools in the Woodbridge Township and Linden Public School Districts, its overall performance is still below the state average, suggesting room for improvement.

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.
