Paterson Arts and Science Charter School

Summary:

Paterson Arts and Science Charter School is an alternative public charter school located in Paterson, New Jersey, serving grades K-12 with a total enrollment of 1,160 students. The school has a strong focus on the arts and sciences, as indicated by its name.

Paterson Arts and Science Charter School stands out for its consistently high four-year graduation rates, ranging from 90.9% to 98.2% over the past few years, significantly higher than the state average. However, the school faces challenges in academic achievement, with test scores on the NJSLA (New Jersey Student Learning Assessments) generally lower than the state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts ranged from 21% to 35.8%, compared to the state averages of 43.6% to 58.1%. In Mathematics, the school's proficiency rates ranged from 7.3% to 20.4%, compared to the state averages of 19.4% to 47.6%. Interestingly, nearby charter schools like Passaic Arts and Science Charter School and Bergen Arts and Sciences Charter School have significantly higher test scores across all grade levels and subject areas.

The school's high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 16.6% to 25.2% in recent years, may be a contributing factor to the lower test scores, as regular attendance is crucial for academic success. Additionally, the school's lower spending per student ($9,134 in 2018-2019) compared to nearby charter schools, such as Passaic Arts and Science Charter School ($9,416) and Bergen Arts and Sciences Charter School ($8,403), may also play a role in the school's academic performance, highlighting the importance of adequate funding and resources for student success.

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.
