Benjamin Banneker Academy

Summary:

Benjamin Banneker Academy is an elementary school serving grades PK-8 in the East Orange School District in New Jersey, with a student population of 502 that is predominantly African American (89.64% in 2022-2023). The school is located in a district that is ranked 525 out of 615 districts in New Jersey and is rated 1 star out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

Benjamin Banneker Academy consistently ranks in the bottom quarter of New Jersey elementary schools, with low proficiency rates on the NJSLA assessments that are significantly below the state averages across all grade levels and subjects. The school has also seen a concerning increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 11.0% in 2017-2018 to 25.2% in 2021-2022, which is much higher than the state average and likely contributes to the school's poor academic outcomes. Additionally, a large majority (57.77% in 2022-2023) of the school's students come from low-income families, as indicated by the high percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients.

While Benjamin Banneker Academy's predominantly African American student population performs significantly better than the overall student body, the school still lags behind state averages and many of its nearby peers, such as Ecole Toussaint Louverture, Dionne Warwick Institute, and Langston Hughes Elementary School, which have similar academic performance and demographic profiles. Some schools in the neighboring Newark and Irvington districts, such as Ivy Hill Elementary and University Elementary, show slightly better academic outcomes, suggesting that factors beyond just the district and demographics may be at play.

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.
