How much the mix changed

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

That’s the 23rd-largest shift among the district’s 39 K–8 schools — smaller than 55% of Essex County K–8 schools. That roughly tracks the district overall (8.1) — a district-wide change more than a school-specific one. The biggest moves, in percentage points:
Hispanic −5.1·Asian +2.2·Two or more +2.2
