Summary:
The The Barack Obama Green Charter High School District in New Jersey consists of a single public charter high school, The Barack Obama Green Charter High School, serving grades 6-12 with an enrollment of 257 students.
The school has faced significant challenges in recent years, with its statewide ranking declining from 188 out of 415 high schools in 2021-2022 to 314 out of 426 high schools in 2023-2024. Student performance on standardized tests is alarmingly low, with proficiency rates ranging from just 5% to 20% in English Language Arts and 5% to 17.6% in Mathematics. The school's high chronic absenteeism rate of 16.6% and relatively low four-year graduation rate of 91.1% further indicate the academic struggles faced by its students.
Despite the school's low student-teacher ratio of 9.6 to 1, which could be seen as a potential advantage, the data suggests that other factors, such as curriculum, instructional practices, and the high level of economic disadvantage among the student population (64.59% eligible for free or reduced-price lunch), may be contributing to the school's poor performance. The The Barack Obama Green Charter High School District and school leadership will need to implement comprehensive strategies to address these challenges and improve educational outcomes for the students.
