Summary:

Bayview Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Belford, New Jersey, serving grades K-5 with a total enrollment of 333 students. The school is part of the Middletown Township Public School District, which is ranked 207 out of 613 districts in New Jersey and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Bayview Elementary School faces several challenges, including lower academic performance compared to the district and state averages, with its 3rd grade ELA proficiency rate at 27.3% in the 2023-2024 school year, compared to 47.8% for the district and 43.6% for the state. The school also experiences relatively high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 7.0% to 18.1% over the past few years, which is higher than the state average. Additionally, the school's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with Hispanic students performing well but White students and students with special needs performing relatively low.

Interestingly, Bayview Elementary School's performance is generally lower than the other Middletown Township elementary schools, such as Fairview Elementary, Navesink Elementary, and Middletown Village Elementary, which have higher academic proficiency rates and better overall rankings. The school's leadership and the district should closely examine the underlying factors contributing to these issues and develop targeted strategies to address them, in order to improve the educational outcomes for the students at Bayview Elementary School.

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.
