Cooper's Poynt Family School

Summary:

Cooper's Poynt Family School is an elementary school serving grades PK-8 in Camden, New Jersey, with a student population of around 400. The school is part of the Camden City School District, which is ranked 613 out of 615 school districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger. The student population at Cooper's Poynt Family School is predominantly minority, with 36.75% African American and 61% Hispanic students.

While Cooper's Poynt Family School spends more per student ($18,278) than nearby schools like Henry B. Wilson Family School ($17,638) and Veterans Memorial Family School ($16,878), the school consistently ranks among the lowest-performing elementary schools in New Jersey, with a statewide ranking between 1234 and 1338 out of 1342-1367 schools over the past decade. The school's performance on the NJSLA assessments is also significantly below the state and district averages across all grade levels and subject areas.

Another significant concern is the school's high chronic absenteeism rate, which has risen from 35.9% in 2017-2018 to 77.0% in 2021-2022, substantially higher than the state average and the rates of nearby schools. The consistently low performance of specific student groups, such as African American and Hispanic students, at Cooper's Poynt Family School also raises equity concerns, suggesting that targeted interventions and support systems may be necessary to ensure all students have access to quality education.

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.
