Twin Hills Elementary School

Summary:

Twin Hills Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 347 students in grades K-4 in Willingboro, New Jersey, which is part of the Willingboro Public School District. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom quarter of New Jersey elementary schools over the past 10 years, with significantly below-average proficiency rates on state assessments in both English Language Arts and Mathematics.

Twin Hills Elementary has faced challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates that are well above the state average. While African American students perform relatively better, Hispanic students, English Language Learners, and Special Education students all perform in the bottom quarter of schools in New Jersey. Interestingly, the school has seen a significant decline in the percentage of students qualifying for free/reduced-price lunch, suggesting a potential change in the school's demographic makeup.

The performance issues at Twin Hills Elementary are reflective of the broader challenges within the Willingboro Public School District, as the other elementary schools in the district also perform poorly compared to the state. However, the nearby Benjamin Banneker Preparatory Charter School, which serves a similar high-needs population, outperforms Twin Hills Elementary and the district on academic measures, indicating that alternative educational models may be more effective in this community.

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.
