Dr. Charles E. Brimm Medical Arts High School

Summary:

Dr. Charles E. Brimm Medical Arts High School is a public high school serving grades 9-12 in Camden City School District, which is one of the lowest-performing districts in New Jersey. With just 194 students, the school has consistently ranked in the bottom 10-15% of New Jersey high schools over the past decade, maintaining a 0-star or 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

The school's performance is particularly low for female, male, African American, and low socioeconomic status student groups, ranking in the bottom 10-15% of New Jersey high schools for these subgroups. Hispanic students perform slightly better, ranking in the bottom 15-30%. The school's four-year graduation rate has fluctuated between 64.7% and 91.1%, which is below the state average, and it has experienced high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 16.6% to 67.2% in recent years.

Interestingly, while nearby schools like East Side High School, Camden Big Picture Learning Academy, and Creative Arts High School also perform poorly, some other nearby schools, such as Haddon Township High School and Collingswood High School, rank in the top 50% of New Jersey high schools and have much higher academic proficiency rates. Despite the poor performance, Dr. Charles E. Brimm Medical Arts High School spends a relatively high amount per student, suggesting that the issue may not be solely a lack of resources, but rather how those resources are being utilized and the challenges the school faces in improving student 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.
