Lindeneau Elementary School

Summary:

Lindeneau Elementary School is a public elementary school in Edison, New Jersey, serving 495 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the Edison Township School District, which is ranked 163 out of 615 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating.

Lindeneau has a diverse student population, with a significant Hispanic (45.86%) and Asian (20.4%) representation, along with smaller percentages of White (16.57%) and African American (11.92%) students. However, the school's academic performance, as measured by NJSLA assessments, is generally lower than the district and state averages. For example, in 2022-2023, only 27.9% of 3rd graders, 45.5% of 4th graders, and 37.3% of 5th graders were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to the district scores of 62%, 68.9%, and 75.3%, respectively. Lindeneau has also experienced a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, from 5.5% in 2020-2021 to 13.5% in 2021-2022, which is higher than the nearby schools.

Lindeneau's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with the school ranking relatively high for African American students (3 out of 5 stars in 2022-2023) but much lower for Asian (1 out of 5 stars) and White (1 out of 5 stars) students. This suggests the need to investigate the factors contributing to these disparities and implement targeted interventions. Additionally, Lindeneau's academic performance is significantly lower than the nearby John Marshall Elementary School and Lincoln Elementary School, which are also part of the Edison Township School District.

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.
