Joseph Battin School No 4

Summary:

Joseph Battin School No 4 is an elementary school located in Elizabeth, New Jersey, serving grades PK-8 with a total enrollment of 783 students. The school is part of the Elizabeth Public Schools district, which is ranked 500 out of 613 districts in New Jersey and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Joseph Battin School No 4 has consistently ranked in the bottom 25% of New Jersey elementary schools over the past 10 years, with its highest ranking being 989 out of 1338 schools in the 2023-2024 school year. The school's performance is similar to other nearby schools in the Elizabeth Public Schools district, with most schools ranking in the bottom 25-30% of New Jersey elementary schools. This suggests a systemic challenge within the district that needs to be addressed. However, the school has some bright spots, with female students and English Language Learner (ELL) students performing better than their peers statewide, ranking in the top 30% and top 25% of New Jersey elementary schools, respectively.

Despite these strengths, Joseph Battin School No 4 faces significant challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 16.6% to 21.6% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state average. This likely contributes to the school's low academic proficiency levels across all subject areas, with English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency rates ranging from 17.7% to 52.2% and mathematics proficiency rates ranging from 19.7% to 27.6% across grade levels, consistently below the district and state averages. The school's socioeconomic challenges, with 63.19% to 76.5% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, may also play a role in these academic outcomes, and the school may need additional resources and support to address the unique needs of this population.

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.
