Constable Elementary School

Summary:

Constable Elementary School is a public elementary school in Kendall Park, New Jersey, serving 513 students from pre-kindergarten to 5th grade. As part of the South Brunswick School District, which is ranked 147 out of 613 school districts in the state, Constable has maintained a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger for several years, ranking between 200 and 329 out of over 1,300 New Jersey elementary schools.

Constable Elementary consistently outperforms the state average in the percentage of students proficient or better in NJSLA/English Language Arts and Mathematics assessments across grades 3-5. The school's academic performance is particularly strong among its African American, Hispanic, and English Language Learner student subgroups, ranking in the top 25%, top 15%, and top 15% of New Jersey elementary schools, respectively, in recent years. However, the school's White and Special Education student subgroups have lower rankings compared to the school's overall performance. Constable's chronic absenteeism rate has fluctuated significantly, from a low of 9.6% to a high of 18.1% in the same school year, which may be an area of concern for the school and district to investigate further.

Compared to other elementary schools in the South Brunswick School District, Constable's performance is generally stronger than Indian Fields Elementary and Brunswick Acres Elementary, but Monmouth Junction Elementary outperforms Constable in several academic metrics, ranking among the top 5% of New Jersey elementary schools. Outside the district, Littlebrook School in the Princeton Public School District and Woods Road Elementary in the Hillsborough Township Public School District both outperform Constable in academic measures and have higher overall rankings.

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.

Open Quote My daughter has studied in 2nd grade and she moved from a blue ribbon school in Pennsylvania to constable elementary. And from my experience and my daughters, the experience was super AWESOME. The teachers help the kids keep focus on Academics. My second grader made presentations in Powerpoint and presented to the kids. The teachers guided them and pushed them enough to do well in STEM subjects (even though the school is not stem accredited). My second grader learnt had exposure to life skills of talking to an audience and being questioned on their ideas, were challenged to come up with interesting and informative topics and were encouraged to ask questions till they understand. I am simply awwed. Close Quote

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.
