Summary:
The Community Charter School of Paterson is the sole elementary school serving grades K-8 in the Community Charter School of Paterson district in New Jersey. With a total enrollment of 874 students, the school faces significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to its student population.
The school's academic performance is consistently below the state average across all grade levels and subject areas, with proficiency rates ranging from 22.6% to 45.7% in English Language Arts and 4.2% to 46.4% in Mathematics. The school's Science scores are also very low, with only 5.6% of 5th graders and 2.1% of 8th graders scoring proficient or better. Additionally, the school has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 16.6%, which is higher than the state average.
The school's student population faces significant socioeconomic challenges, with 60.76% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. This suggests that the school may need additional resources and support to address the needs of its economically disadvantaged student population. While the school's per-student spending is in line with the state average, its student-teacher ratio of 16.4 is slightly higher than the typical recommended ratio, which may also contribute to the school's academic struggles.
