East Orange Campus High School

Summary:

East Orange Campus High School is a public high school serving 1,748 students in grades 9-12 in East Orange, New Jersey, which is part of the East Orange School District. The school has consistently underperformed compared to state and district averages, ranking in the bottom quartile of New Jersey high schools over the past decade.

Academically, East Orange Campus High School struggles, with only 16% of 9th graders proficient or better in English Language Arts and 2% proficient or better in Algebra I. The school's four-year graduation rate has fluctuated between 70.7% and 79.5% over the past five years, lower than the state average, and its dropout rate has ranged from 3.7% to 8.1%. Chronic absenteeism has also been a significant issue, rising from 25.3% in 2017-2018 to 39.5% in 2021-2022. These challenges may be exacerbated by the high percentage (48.28%) of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds.

Interestingly, nearby schools within the same district, such as Cicely L. Tyson Community Middle/High School and East Orange STEM Academy High School, perform significantly better than East Orange Campus High School on various metrics, including higher statewide rankings, graduation rates, and lower chronic absenteeism. This suggests that the educational approaches and resources at these other schools may be more effective in supporting student success.

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.
