Reported figures, 2022–2023

The Common Core of Data is a directory collection: it records size and staffing, not achievement. Nothing here says whether a school is good.

How these figures are defined

Enrollment

Students reported in the autumn headcount. Size is not quality — it is here because it is the figure every other one has to be read against, and because a school of 90 and a school of 4,000 are not comparable on anything else.

Free or reduced-price lunch

Share of students eligible for free or reduced-price meals — the most widely used proxy for concentrated poverty in a school. Districts under community eligibility report all students as eligible, which inflates the figure and makes cross-district comparison unreliable.

§02

Within Burlington County Special Services School District

Schools in the same district, which is the comparison the data actually supports — a peer group defined by who runs them rather than by whichever names sort nearby.
