Link Community Charter School


Summary:

Link Community Charter School is the sole public charter middle school serving grades K-8 in Newark, New Jersey, with a total enrollment of 339 students. This racially diverse school stands out for its strong English Language Arts (ELA) performance, particularly in grades 5, 7, and 8, where proficiency rates exceed the state average. However, the school faces challenges in mathematics, with proficiency rates significantly below the state average across all grades.

While Link Community Charter School boasts a highly diverse student population, with 91.74% African American and 7.67% Hispanic students, the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 15.7% is relatively high compared to the state average. This may be a contributing factor to the lower academic performance, particularly in mathematics. Additionally, with 69.32% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, the school faces socioeconomic challenges that could impact student learning.

Overall, Link Community Charter School demonstrates strengths in ELA but has room for improvement in mathematics. Addressing attendance issues and providing targeted support for economically disadvantaged students could be key priorities for the school to enhance overall student achievement and better prepare them for academic success.
