Roseville Community Charter School

Q: Is Roseville Community Charter School a good school?

Roseville Community Charter School ranks 1005 th of 1342 New Jersey elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 1 star out of 5.

Summary:

Roseville Community Charter School is an elementary school in Newark, New Jersey, serving 272 students from kindergarten to 4th grade. The school is part of the Newark Public School District, which is ranked 522 out of 615 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Roseville Community Charter School faces significant challenges, with a student population that is predominantly African American (50.74%) and Hispanic (48.16%), and an extremely high percentage (over 93%) of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage. The school consistently ranks in the bottom 25% of New Jersey elementary schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger and performance on standardized tests that is significantly below the state averages, particularly in mathematics. Additionally, the school has experienced a sharp increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 22.1% in 2017-2018 to 53.3% in 2021-2022, which is significantly higher than the surrounding schools and the state average.

While Roseville Community Charter School's overall performance is low, the school's African American and Hispanic student subgroups perform relatively better compared to their peers in other schools, such as Mildred Barry Garvin Elementary, Gordon Parks Academy, and Dr. William H. Horton Elementary School, which also struggle with low academic performance and high rates of economic disadvantage. This suggests that the challenges faced by Roseville Community Charter School are systemic within the broader Newark area, and addressing the underlying issues of chronic absenteeism and economic disadvantage could be crucial in improving student 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.
