Benjamin Banneker Preparatory Charter School


Summary:

Benjamin Banneker Preparatory Charter School is the sole school in the Benjamin Banneker Preparatory Charter School District, serving grades K-8 in Willingboro, New Jersey. With an enrollment of 359 students, the school faces significant challenges, including consistently low academic performance, high chronic absenteeism, and a demographic composition that is predominantly African American.

The school's proficiency rates on standardized tests are well below the state averages, ranging from just 2.4% to 65% across different grade levels and subject areas. This persistent academic underperformance is compounded by a chronic absenteeism rate of 17.1%, which may be a contributing factor to the low achievement. Additionally, the school's per-student spending of $8,406 is relatively low, which could further hinder its ability to provide the necessary resources and support for its students.

Situated in a district that is ranked 542 out of 615 in New Jersey and rated 1 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger, Benjamin Banneker Preparatory Charter School faces significant challenges in improving educational outcomes for its predominantly African American student population. Targeted interventions and a closer examination of equity and access issues may be necessary to address the school's persistent challenges and help its students succeed.
