Mt. Horeb School

Summary:

Mt. Horeb School is a highly-ranked elementary school serving 248 students in grades PK-5 within the Warren Township School District in New Jersey. The school has consistently received strong academic performance ratings, outperforming state and district averages on standardized tests.

One key factor that sets Mt. Horeb School apart is its exceptionally low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 6.7 to 7.6 students per teacher over the past few years. This is significantly lower than nearby schools, which have ratios ranging from 8.4 to 14.8 students per teacher. Additionally, Mt. Horeb School has an extremely low percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 1.49% to 1.88% - much lower than the 1.89% to 77.6% rates at surrounding schools.

Despite these demographic differences, Mt. Horeb School has maintained a high level of academic performance, consistently ranking in the top 20% of New Jersey elementary schools and receiving a 4- or 5-star rating from SchoolDigger. This suggests the school is providing a quality educational experience for its students, though the disparities in performance and demographics compared to nearby schools in the Green Brook Township, Middlesex Borough, Bound Brook, and Bridgewater-Raritan Regional school districts raise questions about equity and access to high-quality education in the broader region.

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.
