Passaic Arts and Science Charter School

Summary:

Passaic Arts and Science Charter School is an alternative public charter school serving 1,946 students in grades K-12 in Passaic, New Jersey. While the school has a relatively high 91.1% four-year graduation rate, it faces several challenges, including lower test scores, higher chronic absenteeism, and a high-need student population.

Compared to state averages, Passaic Arts and Science Charter School lags behind in academic performance. For example, in 2023-2024, only 28.5% of 3rd graders were proficient or better in ELA, compared to the state average of 43.6%. The school also struggles in math, with only 19.7% of 8th graders proficient or better, compared to the state average of 19.4%. Additionally, the school has a high chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 11.4% to 18.7% over the past few years, which is quite high compared to the state average and nearby schools.

When compared to other Paterson Arts and Science Charter School and College Achieve Paterson Charter School, Passaic Arts and Science Charter School lags behind in many academic metrics. The school's performance is also weaker than the nearby specialized schools like the Autistic Continuum, Deaf and Hard of Hearing Continuum, and Behavioral Continuum, which serve students with specific needs. These specialized schools have much lower student-teacher ratios and higher per-student spending, which likely contributes to their stronger academic outcomes.

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.
