Number 6

Summary:

Number 6 is an elementary school in the Linden Public School District, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 332 students. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom quarter of New Jersey elementary schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past several years.

Academically, Number 6 struggles compared to the district and state averages. In the 2023-2024 school year, only 17.5% of 3rd graders, 41.8% of 4th graders, and 50.9% of 5th graders scored proficient or better on the NJSLA English Language Arts assessment, significantly lower than the Linden Public School District and New Jersey state averages. The school's math performance is also well below average, with only 14% of 3rd graders, 28.3% of 4th graders, and 18.9% of 5th graders scoring proficient or better on the NJSLA Mathematics assessment. Additionally, Number 6 has consistently high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 16.6% to 29.6% over the past few years.

When comparing Number 6 to other elementary schools in the Linden Public School District, it is clear that the school is underperforming. For example, Number 10, which is less than 2 miles away, outperforms Number 6 in both English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency rates at all grade levels. Despite the school's poor academic outcomes, Number 6 spends a relatively high amount per student, at $9,307 per student in the 2018-2019 school year, suggesting that the issue may not be solely a lack of funding, but rather how the resources are being utilized.

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.
