Uptown School Complex

Summary:

Uptown School Complex is an elementary school in Atlantic City, New Jersey, serving 556 students in grades PK-8. The school is part of the Atlantic City School District, which is ranked 529 out of 615 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. Uptown School Complex has consistently ranked among the lowest-performing elementary schools in New Jersey, with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past several years.

Uptown School Complex stands out for its significantly higher percentage of African American (51.26%) and Hispanic (43.35%) students compared to the state average. Academically, the school's performance is well below the state and district averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2022-2023 school year, only 8.5% of 3rd-grade students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to the state average of 42% and the district average of 20.7%. Additionally, Uptown School Complex has experienced a concerning increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 35% in 2017-2018 to 61.9% in 2021-2022, which is significantly higher than the state and district averages. The school also has an extremely high percentage of students (92.81%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

Interestingly, the nearby schools, such as Chelsea Heights School, Richmond Avenue School, and Brigantine Community School, generally outperform Uptown School Complex academically, despite serving similar student populations. This suggests that the challenges faced by Uptown School Complex may be systemic and require a comprehensive, long-term approach to address the underlying socioeconomic and attendance-related factors that are contributing to the school's poor academic performance.

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.
