The Ethical Community Charter School

Summary:

The Ethical Community Charter School is a public charter school located in Jersey City, New Jersey, serving students from kindergarten to 8th grade. The school has a diverse student population, with a mix of White, African American, Hispanic, and Asian students.

The Ethical Community Charter School has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, which may be a strength, but its academic performance is a concern. The school's performance on state assessments is mixed, with proficiency rates lagging behind the state average, particularly in Mathematics. However, the school's low-income students perform better than the school's overall ranking, suggesting the school may be providing additional support. Compared to nearby public schools like Dr. Charles P. DeFuccio School and Mahatma K. Gandhi School, The Ethical Community Charter School performs better, but it lags behind other nearby charter schools, such as Jersey City Golden Door Charter School and Learning Community Charter School, which have higher rankings and better academic performance.

To improve the school's performance, the administration may need to focus on addressing the academic needs of all students, particularly in Mathematics, and exploring strategies to improve attendance and engagement. The school's diverse student population and low student-teacher ratio are strengths, but the school's overall academic performance, especially in comparison to nearby charter schools, is an area that requires attention.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
