Enrollment, by grade

In 2025-26 it enrolled 148 students in pre-K only. That is 27 more than in 1998-99 (121) — the school has grown. It peaked at 189 in 2005-06. Its biggest cohort is pre-K.

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.

What the school looks like

The largest group in both 1998-99 and 2025-26 was White students — 86% then, 71% now.

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 2016-17, 4.9% of students were chronically absent — missing at least 10% of school days.

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 2016-17 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.
