Woodbridge Academy Magnet School

Summary:

Woodbridge Academy Magnet School is a high-performing public high school in Woodbridge, New Jersey, serving grades 9-12 and part of the Middlesex County Vocational and Technical School District. The school has consistently been ranked among the top high schools in the state, with exceptional academic achievement, low absenteeism, and a 100% graduation rate.

Woodbridge Academy Magnet School stands out for its exceptional academic performance, with proficiency rates significantly higher than the state averages. In the 2022-2023 school year, the school had a 95.9% proficiency rate in Algebra II, compared to 61.7% statewide, and a 97% proficiency rate in science, far exceeding the district (33.6%) and state (29.9%) averages. The school also maintains a 0% dropout rate, in contrast to higher rates in nearby schools like Colonia High School and Woodbridge High School.

One notable aspect of Woodbridge Academy Magnet School is its unique student racial makeup, with over 87% of students identifying as Asian in the 2022-2023 school year. This is in contrast to the more diverse student populations in nearby schools, such as Perth Amboy High School and Academy for Urban Leadership Charter School. While the school's academic performance is exceptional, this racial imbalance raises questions about equity and access for students of other backgrounds.

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.
