Thurgood Marshall Elementary School

Summary:

Thurgood Marshall Elementary School is a public elementary school in Asbury Park, New Jersey, serving 231 students from pre-kindergarten to 3rd grade. The school is part of the Asbury Park School District, which is ranked 610 out of 615 school districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Thurgood Marshall Elementary School faces significant challenges, consistently ranking among the lowest-performing elementary schools in New Jersey, placing it in the bottom 3-5% of schools statewide. The school's performance on various student subgroups is also concerning, ranking 439 out of 463 for African American students and 873 out of 896 for Hispanic students. Additionally, the school has experienced a concerning increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 9.1% in 2017-2018 to 34.8% in 2021-2022, well above the state average. Academically, only 5.3% of 3rd-grade students were proficient or better in English Language Arts and Mathematics, compared to state averages of 42% and 45.9%, respectively.

When comparing Thurgood Marshall Elementary School to nearby schools, such as Bradley Elementary School and Midtown Community Elementary School, it becomes clear that the challenges faced by the school are not unique to the Asbury Park School District. These nearby schools also struggle with low academic performance, high chronic absenteeism, and a high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds. Despite the school's low performance, it appears to receive a relatively high level of funding, with a per-student spending of $23,480 in the 2018-2019 school year, suggesting that the challenges may not be solely due to a lack of resources.

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.
