Dionne Warwick Institute

Summary:

Dionne Warwick Institute is an elementary school in East Orange, New Jersey, serving 397 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the East Orange School District, which is ranked 525 out of 615 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Dionne Warwick Institute faces significant academic and socioeconomic challenges. The school's academic performance, as measured by proficiency rates on state assessments, is significantly below state and district averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2022-2023, the school's 3rd grade English Language Arts proficiency rate was 24%, compared to the East Orange School District average of 29.6% and the New Jersey state average of 42%. The school also has consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 16% to 28.4% in recent years, which is much higher than the state average for elementary schools. Additionally, 73.8% of Dionne Warwick Institute's students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds.

While Dionne Warwick Institute's performance is concerning, the school's relatively strong performance among its African American and Hispanic student subgroups suggests that targeted support and interventions for these populations could yield positive results. Additionally, the nearby Mildred Barry Garvin Elementary, Gordon Parks Academy, Cicely L. Tyson Community Elementary School, and Langston Hughes Elementary School all face similar challenges, suggesting that the issues at Dionne Warwick Institute are systemic within the East Orange School District. Addressing these challenges through targeted interventions and support could lead to improved student outcomes at Dionne Warwick Institute and the surrounding schools.

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.
