How much the mix changed

Between 2006-07 and 2009-10 the makeup of this school changed substantially.

That’s the largest shift among the district’s four middle schools — and the biggest of 20 across Camden County. The district as a whole shifted just 1.7 over the same years, making this school an outlier. The biggest moves, in percentage points:
Hispanic +15.6·Black −13.6·White −2

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 middle 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.
