SchoolDigger Rank ?

of 1,347 New Jersey Elementary Schools

Better than 22% of New Jersey elementary schools

Summary

Number 6 is an elementary school in the Linden Public School District, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 329 students. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom quartile of New Jersey elementary schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger for most years.

Number 6 consistently underperforms compared to the Linden Public School District and the state of New Jersey in standardized test scores. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the percentage of students proficient or better in English Language Arts ranged from 17.5% (3rd grade) to 47.9% (5th grade), while the state averages were 44.9% (3rd grade) and 52.7% (5th grade). The school also has high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 14.9% to 26.2% in recent years, which is significantly higher than the state average. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 46.04% to 52.58% in recent years, indicating a high proportion of students from low-income families.

While Number 10, Number 1, and Number 8, other nearby schools in the Linden Public School District, also struggle academically, with similar low rankings and test scores, the challenges faced by Number 6 are not unique and are likely systemic within the district. Addressing these issues will likely require a comprehensive, district-wide approach to improve educational outcomes for all students.
