Summary

Number 9 is an elementary school located in Linden, New Jersey, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 309 students. The school is part of the Linden Public School District, which is ranked 529 out of 609 districts in New Jersey and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Number 9 consistently outperforms the Linden Public School District and the state of New Jersey in English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics proficiency rates across grades 3-5. For example, in 2024-2025, Number 9's 5th-grade ELA proficiency rate was 47.2%, compared to 38.4% for the district and 52.7% for the state. The school's performance is particularly strong in ELA, where it ranks in the top 25% of New Jersey elementary schools for African American and Hispanic student subgroups. Number 9 also has a lower chronic absenteeism rate compared to some nearby Linden schools, such as Number 10, Number 1, and Number 8.

While Number 9 outperforms other Linden schools, it lags behind the nearby Winfield Township School in both ELA and Mathematics proficiency. This could be due to factors such as higher funding, lower student-teacher ratios, or more effective instructional practices at Winfield Township. Interestingly, Number 9's spending per student ($9,767 in 2018-2019) is lower than Winfield Township School ($15,980) and the Rahway and Roselle school districts, suggesting that Number 9 may be implementing effective strategies to support its students despite relatively lower per-student funding.
