Evergreen Avenue Elementary School consistently performs below the state and district averages in standardized test scores for English Language Arts and Mathematics. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 18.9% of 3rd graders, 28.8% of 4th graders, and 30.3% of 5th graders were proficient or better in ELA, compared to the state averages of 43.6%, 50.8%, and 52.3%, respectively. The school's performance in Mathematics is even lower, with only 8.1% of 3rd graders, 26.6% of 4th graders, and 24.2% of 5th graders scoring proficient or better, compared to the state averages of 47.6%, 45%, and 40.1%. Additionally, Evergreen Avenue Elementary School has consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 16.6% to 26.2% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state average.

Interestingly, Evergreen Avenue Elementary School's performance is generally lower than the nearby Walnut Street School and West End Memorial Elementary School, which are also part of the Woodbury City Public School District. These schools have higher test scores, lower chronic absenteeism rates, and a lower percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds. The school's declining performance over time and the disparities in student group outcomes suggest the need for a comprehensive review of the school's practices, resources, and strategies to improve student learning and well-being.

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.
