How much the mix changed

Between 2021-22 and 2025-26 the makeup of this school changed substantially.

That’s the largest shift among Essex County’s seven early-childhood centers. The district as a whole shifted just 4.4 over the same years, making this school an outlier. The biggest moves, in percentage points:
White −25.2·Hispanic +24.8·Black +2.6

The index is half the sum of every group’s change in share, on a 0–100 scale (how it works). At a school this small, a few students moving can swing the index a lot.

This schooldistrict overall

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 2018-19, 0% of students were chronically absent — missing at least 10% of school days.

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). The lighter line shows the district overall, for comparison. Points from 2018-19 and earlier are matched to this school 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.
