What changed?

These measures follow the same rule on every school page, not a ranking of this school’s biggest changes. Each row names its evidence dates; trend rows do not describe every year in between.

These are descriptive measures from statewide NJDOE datasets, not a quality rating or an explanation of cause. Proficiency, attendance, and graduation figures use All Students; subgroup patterns may differ.

Enrollment over time

In 2025-26 it enrolled 243 students. That is 170 more than in 2003-04 (73) — the school has grown. It peaked at 286 in 2024-25.

How much the mix changed

Between 2021-22 and 2025-26 the makeup of this school shifted noticeably.

That’s a smaller shift than 80% of Monmouth County early-childhood centers. The biggest moves, in percentage points:

The index is half the sum of every group’s change in share, on a 0–100 scale (how it works). It is computed from the same counts as the makeup chart above — source: NJDOE Fall Enrollment. Compare any two years in the explorer →

Free or reduced-price lunch

In 2025-26, 18.1% 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 district overall, 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.

Chronic absenteeism

In 2024-25, 13.3% of students were chronically absent — missing at least 10% of school days — down from 16.3% in 2023-24.

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). The lighter lines show the district overall and New Jersey, for comparison. The statewide line starts in 2021-22, because that is the first edition in which NJDOE printed a statewide rate beside each school’s own.

NJDOE’s Targeted Summary published no student-group flag for this school for 2026-27.

These are policy-defined values: which indicators count, and how much each counts, is set by New Jersey’s ESSA plan, not by any measure of school quality. The weights are specific to this school — an indicator that drops out shifts weight onto the rest, so the same indicator is worth different points at different schools. The workbooks measure 2024-25 and were published on April 2, 2026; 2024-25 was not a year New Jersey identified schools for comprehensive or targeted support, so these files carry no CSI or ATSI status. These weights are 2024-25’s: the indicator set and the weighting have both moved across the eight editions above, and for some school types they moved in this one.
