What the school looks like

The largest group in both 1998-99 and 2021-22 was White students — 80% then, 67% now.

How much the mix changed

Between 2017-18 and 2021-22 the makeup of this school changed substantially.

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. It is computed from the same counts as the makeup chart above — source: NJDOE Fall Enrollment. Compare any two years in the explorer →

Free or reduced-price lunch

In 2021-22, 0% of students were certified for free or reduced-price lunch.

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 schools, for comparison. Years the state did not report are shaded. 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.

NCES school lunch record

For 2021-22, this school’s NCES lunch total is suppressed, so no rate is shown.

Universe break. In 2024-25, the NCES lunch file contains 2,461 New Jersey schools while the membership file contains 2,552; 91 membership schools have no lunch row. A percentage below exists only where both files report the same school-year.

Direct certification. NCES publishes no numeric direct-certification count for a New Jersey school in this release. The wide editions do not contain the field; the later New Jersey rows are not reported or suppressed. Those states are not zero.

This is the federal NCES Common Core of Data record, separate from the NJDOE Fall Enrollment chart above. NCES says the lunch counts are perturbed for disclosure protection, so a school count is not exact. Files through 2022–23 are publisher-marked provisional; the two newest editions are final.
