In its last year on record, 2022-23, it enrolled 450 students across grades K–8. That is 389 more than in 2017-18 (61) — the district had grown. Its biggest cohort is grade 3.
Students enrolled in each grade each fall, stacked to the total — so the top edge is total enrollment. Bands run from the lowest grade (light) to the highest (dark); a band that appears or disappears is a grade the school added or dropped. “Other” is students with no grade level (mostly special education), so the bands always sum to total.

The largest group in both 2017-18 and 2022-23 was Black students — 79% then, 83% now.

In 2022-23, 77.8% of students were certified for free or reduced-price lunch.
Share of students certified for free or reduced-price meals, through a household application or an automatic match. The lighter line shows the statewide, for comparison. Some districts serve free meals to every student under the Community Eligibility Provision. Those districts often stop collecting household income forms, so their reported share can run below the number of low-income students they enroll. Source: NJDOE Fall Enrollment.
On October 15, 2022 NJDOE recorded 451 students in this district and 37 of them — 8.20% — had an individualized education program (IEP). That count is public school students only. Across New Jersey, adding up every district in the same file gives 16.51% on the same count.
Public school students only — 2019-20 onwardPublic and non-public together — a wider count of a wider group of children, on its own basis
The state changed who it counted. In 2022-23 this district's rate came out the same on both counts — 8.20% either way — which means it enrolled few or no non-public students that October, not that the change was small everywhere. Statewide the same two counts differ by 1.13 percentage points (17.63% against 16.51%) — about 19,000 children.
Through the October 2018 count NJDOE's classification file counted public and non-public students together. From October 2019 it counted public school students only. Because the two Octobers above were published on both bases, the size of the change is measured rather than guessed — and it is why the two lines on the chart are never joined. Years on one side of the break may be compared with each other; across it there is no fair comparison, and this page draws none.
What this number is not. A classification rate counts the students who had an IEP on one October day. It is not a count of how many students here need special education, and it is not a measure of the services they get. A rate above New Jersey’s can mean a district finds and identifies students that other districts miss, or that it classifies students another district would not; a rate below it can mean either of the opposite two things. This file cannot tell you which, and neither can this page.
Nothing here is evidence about staffing, spending, placement, out-of-district tuition, whether a program is appropriate, or whether the district is in compliance with anything. It is also not the special-education share in a district budget: that is a different count, of a different population, on a different date, and the two must not be subtracted from one another.
Some reporting units in this file are not ordinary districts. State-operated programs, county juvenile detention centers and specialized placements enroll students who were sent to them, which puts their rates far from the statewide figure for structural reasons rather than anything about how a district serves the children who live in it.

About the oldest years. Rows marked † were matched to this district by NJDOE's district code, but our record of which districts existed does not reach back before August 2020. A match on those years confirms the code is in use today; it is not evidence that the entity behind it is the same district, and New Jersey has merged, split and regionalised districts across this span.
About the denominator. In most of these editions NJDOE headed the enrollment column General Ed. Enrollment or a variant of it, but the query the department published alongside the file counts every student aged 3 to 21 — students with IEPs included. The published rates only reconcile against that wider reading, so that is the denominator used here. Adding the IEP count back on would deflate every rate in the affected years.
What NJDOE publishes that is not in this workbook. The classification file answers one question — how many students had an IEP — and nothing else. It is not the only special-education file New Jersey publishes, and the others are not statewide-only:
This site does not yet carry those figures. That is a gap in what we have loaded, not a gap in what the state publishes, and the difference matters if you came here looking for them.

In 2022-23, 18.5% of students were chronically absent — missing at least 10% of school days — down from 29% in 2017-18.
† New Jersey says these years are not comparable with the ones beside them
The requirement to report status in meeting annual ESSA targets for 2020-2021 was waived. As a result, NJDOE will not report state averages and whether state averages were met for 2020-2021. Additionally, because the number of days students spent in in-person and remote learning environments during the school year differed, the NJDOE recommends caution in comparing 2020-2021 attendance data between schools and districts and to prior or future school years.NJDOE 2020-21 workbook notes sheet.
2019-20 is blank because New Jersey collected no attendance data that year, not because nobody was absent. The requirement to report on chronic absenteeism and related accountability measures for the 2019-2020 school year was waived. As a result, NJDOE will not report on chronic absenteeism and other attendance data for 2019-2020. Tables showing attendance data will be hidden in the 2019-2020 reports.

Chronic absenteeism — the share of students who missed 10% or more of the days they were enrolled (roughly 18 days across a full school year). Points from 2018-19 and earlier are matched to this district by its state code; New Jersey’s organization record only reaches back to 2020-08-11, so for those years the code is verified and the identity behind it is not.

New Jersey has published a district suspension figure in eight school years, 2017-18 through 2024-25. It published none before that: the 2015-16 edition has no district workbook at all and the 2016-17 one has no removals sheet in it. This district carries a figure in five of them, and three of those sit inside the part of the record New Jersey says can be compared. The two editions New Jersey excludes from that comparable record are shown here anyway, outside the line, in its own words. This district has no row at all in the 2023-24 and 2024-25 files — it is absent from the publication, which is not the same as a year it recorded nothing.
Each point is the share of this district’s own students suspended at least once that school year — one student counted once however many times they were suspended. The dashed line is New Jersey. The line stops at 2018-19 and starts again at 2021-22. The two years in between are drawn as hollow marks inside the shaded band because NJDOE printed, inside both of those workbooks, that their discipline data may not be comparable with the years either side — its words are below. Schools statewide were shut for part of spring 2020 and much of 2020-21, and the fall in those two years is very largely a fall in the number of children in a building, not in what they did. A year with no mark is a year New Jersey did not give this district a number; the table has which kind of not-giving it was.
2019-20, in New Jersey’s own words. Due to school closures in spring 2020, discipline data for the 2019-2020 school year may not be comparable to prior or future school years and NJDOE recommends caution in making comparisons.

In 2018-19 the file prints N here. NJDOE used that marker in five editions and published no legend for it in any of them — those workbooks carry no notes, legend or reference sheet of any kind. It is left as printed rather than read as a zero, which is the reading that would invent a year with no suspensions in it. Where the figure sits in the file changed in 2023-24. Through 2022-23 the sheet had one row per district and this was that row; from 2023-24 the sheet is one row per student group and this is the group called Districtwide, then All Students. The quantity did not change and no break is drawn there — NJDOE prints it under the same column name, AnySusp_Count, in 2017-18 and again in 2024-25, with one edition in between spelling it #StudentsAnySuspension and then changing back.
| Measure | Editions | Span |
|---|---|---|
| Suspended at least once | six | 2017-18 to 2022-23 |
| In-school suspension | six | 2017-18 to 2022-23 |
| Out-of-school suspension | six | 2017-18 to 2022-23 |
| Removed to another program | six | 2017-18 to 2022-23 |
| Expelled | six | 2017-18 to 2022-23 |

| School days missed to out-of-school suspension | six | 2017-18 to 2022-23 |
There is no trend by student group, and this page does not draw one. New Jersey has published suspension broken out by race, sex, income and disability exactly twice — 2023-24 and 2024-25 — and it changed the categories between them. Asian and Native Hawaiian or Pacific Islander were separate groups in the first year and one merged group in the second; Hispanic became Hispanic/Latino; the district total was called Districtwide and is now All Students. Seven labels came through unchanged. Two points would not be a trend even if all fifteen had, and the two race categories cannot be added back together for the earlier year because either of them may be withheld. The section below shows the current year in full. When New Jersey publishes a third edition on the categories it uses now, this becomes a series and gets a chart; until then it is two years, and they are shown as two years.
The same boundary is why only suspension has a line above it. Students referred to police and students involved in an incident leading to arrest are published by student and by grade only from 2023-24, on sheets that did not exist before — and the arrest sheet names its own columns ArrestedCount in one edition and PoliceCount in the next. An arrest figure does appear on the removals sheet from 2017-18 to 2022-23, but joining it to the later sheet would be this site deciding that two differently-named columns on two different sheets are one measure, which is exactly the decision the publisher declined to make.
On reading one district back to 2017-18. The evidence that a district code names this district begins 2020-08-11. For the editions before that, a code that resolves is a verified code rather than a verified district: it says the number is a current NJDOE organization and says nothing about what that code named in that school year. New Jersey merges and regionalizes districts, so read the early end of this line as the record filed under this code, not as a promise that the same schools were inside it.
These are reported removals — a record of decisions adults made, one row per school year in eight separate publications. A district that suspends less may be behaving differently, recording differently, or reporting differently, and this file cannot tell a reader which. Nothing here is a safety measure or a measure of school quality, and no figure on this page is compared with a figure from any other dataset on it.

2016-17 – 2024-25 · the ESSA record
Under ESSA, New Jersey rates schools, not districts. The calculation workbooks publish no district row at all, so there is no ESSA rating for this district to show. What there is: a published rating for individual schools here in every year the state calculated one, from 2016-17 to 2024-25. Each school’s own page carries its record.
| School year | Schools with a published rating |
|---|---|
| 2024-25 | None |

| 2022-23 | 1 |
| 2021-22 | 1 |

2019-20 and 2020-21 · nothing was calculated
These are not years missing from this record. The federal government waived New Jersey’s ESSA accountability requirements for both of them, and no summative rating exists for any school in the state. In NJDOE’s own words:
due to the COVID-19 pandemic, New Jersey was approved for both a March 2020 waiver and a March 2021 waiver that removed accountability-related requirements under ESSA for the 2019-2020 and 2020-2021 school years, respectively. The waived requirements included the: Calculation of indicator scores and summative scores; Measurement of progress toward long-term goals and measures of interim progress for accountability indicators; and Identification of schools for comprehensive and targeted support and improvement based on data from these two school years.
