Sovereign Avenue School

Summary:

Sovereign Avenue School is an elementary school serving grades PK-8 in the Atlantic City School District in New Jersey, with a diverse student population that is predominantly Hispanic. Despite serving a high-poverty community, the school has consistently underperformed, ranking in the bottom quarter of New Jersey elementary schools.

Sovereign Avenue School's academic performance, as measured by proficiency rates on state assessments, is significantly below state and district averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2022-2023, only 8.2% of 3rd graders were proficient in English Language Arts, compared to 42% statewide and 20.7% in the Atlantic City School District. The school also faces challenges with high chronic absenteeism, rising from 7.1% in 2017-2018 to 28.3% in 2021-2022. Interestingly, the school's performance for English Language Learner students is much higher, suggesting that it may be providing effective support for this population.

Comparing Sovereign Avenue School to nearby schools in the Atlantic City School District, such as Pennsylvania Ave School, Uptown School Complex, and New York Avenue School, it becomes clear that the academic performance challenges are not unique to this school. This indicates a systemic issue within the district that requires a comprehensive approach to address. Despite the additional funding the school receives, with approximately $13,431 spent per student, the resources do not appear to be translating into improved academic outcomes, suggesting the need for a re-evaluation of resource allocation and instructional strategies.

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.
