Summary:

Raymond E. Voorhees Elementary School consistently outperforms the district and state averages in standardized test scores, with significantly higher proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics across all grade levels. The school's performance is particularly strong for certain student subgroups, such as female students and Asian students, who rank 314 and 185 out of 1,317 and 346 New Jersey elementary schools, respectively. While the school's chronic absenteeism rate has increased in recent years, it remains lower than the state average, indicating relatively strong student attendance.

When compared to other elementary schools in the immediate vicinity, such as Walter M. Schirra Elementary School, Raymond E. Voorhees Elementary School generally outperforms its peers in academic achievement. This may be due in part to the school's relatively low percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, as well as its small student-teacher ratio of 11:1. However, the school may need to focus on addressing disparities in the performance of certain student subgroups, such as male students and special education students, to ensure all students are reaching their full potential.

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.
