Summary

Number 10 is an elementary school in Linden, New Jersey, serving grades PK-5 with 270 students. The school is part of the Linden Public School District, which is ranked 529 out of 609 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Number 10 generally performs below the state and district averages in English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency across all grade levels. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's 3rd grade ELA proficiency was 41.7%, compared to the state average of 44.9% and the district average of 24.5%. The school also has consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 14.9% to 26.2% over the past few years, which are significantly higher than the state and district averages. Additionally, the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at Number 10 has increased from 35.9% in 2021-2022 to 50% in 2023-2024, indicating a higher proportion of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds.

While Number 10 performs better than other Linden elementary schools, such as Number 8 and Number 9, it lags significantly behind nearby out-of-district schools, like Hillside Avenue School in Cranford and Washington Elementary School in Roselle. Number 10's statewide ranking has also steadily declined over the past 10 years, suggesting the school is struggling to keep pace with other elementary schools in New Jersey.
