Pennsylvania Ave School

Summary:

Pennsylvania Ave School is an elementary school serving grades PK-8 in the Atlantic City School District in New Jersey, with a student population of 531 in a predominantly minority and economically disadvantaged area of the city.

The school has consistently ranked among the lowest-performing elementary schools in the state, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. This is due to several key factors: a significantly higher percentage of African American (60.64%) and Hispanic (30.32%) students compared to the state average, significantly lower academic performance across all grade levels and subject areas (e.g., only 23.8% of 3rd graders were proficient in English Language Arts), and a very high rate of chronic absenteeism (45.9% in 2021-2022). Additionally, 89.08% of the students receive free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage.

When compared to other schools in the area, such as the Brigantine Community School in the Brigantine Public School District, which has a majority white student population and outperforms Pennsylvania Ave School across all subject areas and grade levels, the persistent underperformance of Pennsylvania Ave School becomes even more apparent. This suggests that the school may be facing systemic challenges that require a comprehensive, long-term approach to address the underlying factors contributing to its low academic 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.
