Summary:
Red Bank Charter School is the sole public charter school serving grades PK-8 in the Red Bank Charter School District. With a total enrollment of 192 students, the school has a relatively low statewide ranking, placing 1,025 out of 1,338 New Jersey elementary schools. Its 1-star rating from School Digger indicates it is performing below average compared to other schools in the state.
Academically, Red Bank Charter School struggles, with test scores that are significantly lower than the state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, the school's 3rd grade ELA proficiency rate was just 19% in 2023-2024, compared to the state average of 43.6%. Additionally, the school has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 16.6%, which is above the state average.
Despite having a low student-teacher ratio of 7.3 to 1, suggesting smaller class sizes, the school serves a population with high levels of economic disadvantage, with 48.96% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. This combination of academic underperformance and socioeconomic challenges indicates that Red Bank Charter School may need targeted interventions and support to improve student outcomes and close achievement gaps.
