Hudson Arts and Science Charter School

Summary:

Hudson Arts and Science Charter School is an elementary school located in Kearny, New Jersey, serving students from kindergarten to 8th grade, with a diverse student population that is majority Hispanic (75.53% in 2022-2023).

While the school has a high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds (59.93% receive free or reduced-price lunch), its academic performance is generally lower than the state averages and nearby schools. For example, in 2022-2023, the school's 3rd grade English Language Arts proficiency rate was 17.9%, compared to the state average of 42%, and its 8th grade Mathematics proficiency rate was only 4.9%, significantly lower than the state average of 17.8%. The school has also seen a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, from 0.8% in 2017-2018 to 15.8% in 2021-2022, which is higher than the nearby Schuyler Elementary School and 'Franklin Elementary School.

However, the school's subgroup performance suggests that there may be opportunities for targeted interventions and support. For example, the school's African American and English Language Learner (ELL) students perform better compared to their peers in the state, with the African American students ranking 228 out of 463 New Jersey elementary schools and the ELL students ranking 247 out of 499 New Jersey elementary schools in 2022-2023. Additionally, the school's spending per student in 2018-2019 was $8,007, which is higher than some of the nearby public schools, such as Schuyler Elementary School ($6,903) and Thomas Jefferson Elementary School ($5,542), indicating a potential focus on resource allocation.

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.
