Christopher Columbus Middle School

Summary:

Christopher Columbus Middle School is a public middle school located in Clifton, New Jersey, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 1,158 students. The school is part of the Clifton Public School District, which is ranked 440 out of 615 districts in New Jersey and has a rating of 1 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger.

Christopher Columbus Middle School faces several challenges, including a significantly higher percentage of Hispanic students (70.12%) compared to the state average, and consistently ranking in the bottom half of New Jersey middle schools, with a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school also experiences high chronic absenteeism rates and has a very high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a large population of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds. However, the school's strong performance in Algebra I, where proficiency rates are significantly higher than the district and state averages, suggests there may be opportunities for targeted interventions and support to improve the overall academic outcomes.

When comparing Christopher Columbus Middle School to other nearby middle schools, such as Woodrow Wilson Middle School (also in the Clifton Public School District), the data shows that Woodrow Wilson Middle School generally outperforms Christopher Columbus Middle School on academic measures, with higher proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics. Additionally, an analysis of the school's performance by student subgroups reveals that Christopher Columbus Middle School struggles the most with its Asian and White student populations, ranking in the bottom 20% and bottom 40% of New Jersey middle schools, respectively, in these subgroups. In contrast, the school's performance for Hispanic and African American students is relatively stronger, ranking in the bottom half of the state.

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.
