Manhattan Place Elementary stands out for its unique racial composition, with 0% representation across all racial groups. This is significantly different from the racial diversity seen in nearby schools like Washington Primary Center, Manchester Avenue Elementary, and La Salle Avenue Elementary.

The school serves a predominantly low-income student population, with 96.21% to 97.06% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch over the past few years. This suggests that the school is facing a range of socioeconomic challenges that may be impacting student learning, such as access to resources, parental involvement, and health and wellness issues. Addressing these broader societal challenges, along with the school's unique challenges in racial diversity, chronic absenteeism, and academic performance, will be crucial for improving the educational outcomes at Manhattan Place Elementary.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
