Enrollment, by grade

In its last year on record, 2004-05, it enrolled 445 students across grades K–5. That is 154 more than in 1998-99 (291) — the school had grown. Its biggest cohort is kindergarten.

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 2004-05 was Black students — 78% then, 70% now.

How much the mix changed

Between 2000-01 and 2004-05 the makeup of this school shifted noticeably.

That’s the sixth-largest shift among the district’s 17 elementary schools — larger than 64% of Mercer County elementary schools. The district as a whole shifted just 2.9 over the same years, making this school an outlier. The biggest moves, in percentage points:
Hispanic +8.5·Black −8.2

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 →

Share of students certified for free or reduced-price meals, through a household application or an automatic match. The lighter lines show the district overall and the district elementary schools, 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.
