School #14

Summary:

School #14 is an elementary school located in Clifton, New Jersey, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 401 students. The school faces several challenges, including lower-than-average student performance, high chronic absenteeism, and a large population of students from low-income backgrounds.

While School #14's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics are generally lower than the state averages, they are higher than the Clifton Public School District averages. In 2023-2024, 35.9% of 3rd graders, 51.2% of 4th graders, and 34.1% of 5th graders were proficient or better in ELA, compared to the state averages of 43.6%, 50.8%, and 52.3%, respectively. In Mathematics, 42.5% of 3rd graders, 39.6% of 4th graders, and 44.6% of 5th graders were proficient or better, compared to the state averages of 47.6%, 45%, and 40.1%, respectively. The school's performance is lower than the higher-ranked nearby schools, such as School #9 and School #16, but outperforms the lower-ranked nearby schools, such as School #15 and Thomas Jefferson School No. 1.

School #14 has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 10.4 to 11.6 over the past three years, which is lower than the ratios of most nearby schools. However, the school has experienced a concerning trend of increasing chronic absenteeism, rising from 15.8% in 2021-2022 to 21.6% in 2022-2023. Additionally, 67.58% of students at School #14 qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds. Addressing these issues and implementing targeted interventions could be crucial for improving the school's performance and providing a better educational experience for its students.

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.
