Trenton Stem-to-Civics Charter School

Trenton Stem-to-Civics Charter School is the sole school in this data set, serving grades 6-12 with a total enrollment of 585 students in Ewing, New Jersey. The school's student population is predominantly African American (63.25%) and Hispanic (32.82%), and it faces significant academic challenges, with proficiency rates well below the state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. However, the school maintains a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 88.5% and a low dropout rate of 0.0%, despite a concerning chronic absenteeism rate of 49.9%.

Academically, Trenton Stem-to-Civics Charter School is underperforming, with proficiency rates that are often less than half of the state's. This suggests the need for more effective instructional strategies and interventions to improve student learning outcomes. The school's predominantly minority student population highlights the importance of ensuring equitable educational opportunities and support for underrepresented groups. Addressing the high chronic absenteeism rate should also be a priority, as it may be contributing to the school's academic challenges.

Despite these concerns, the school has managed to maintain a relatively high graduation rate and low dropout rate, which suggests it may be providing effective support and interventions to help students persist and complete their high school education. However, the school's per-student spending of $8,463 is below the state average, which could be a contributing factor to its academic underperformance. Ensuring adequate and equitable funding for Trenton Stem-to-Civics Charter School may be necessary to improve educational outcomes for its diverse student population.
