Dr. Leroy McCloud Elementary School

Summary:

Dr. Leroy McCloud Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades 3-5 in Englewood, New Jersey, with 481 students. The school is part of the Englewood Public School District, which is ranked 486 out of 613 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Academically, Dr. Leroy McCloud Elementary School struggles, with proficiency rates on the NJSLA assessments significantly below state and district averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's 3rd grade English Language Arts proficiency rate was 37%, compared to 43.6% statewide and 37% for the Englewood district. The school also has consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 16.6% to 19.8% over the past few years, which is much higher than the state average.

Despite the school's challenges, its per-student spending of $11,706 in 2018-2019 is on par with the state average and higher than some of the nearby higher-performing schools, such as Ralph S Maugham School, Walter Stillman School, and J Spencer Smith School, which consistently rank in the top 5-10% of New Jersey elementary schools. This suggests that factors other than funding, such as instructional quality, school leadership, and student/family engagement, may be more significant in the school's underperformance.

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.
