Ecole Toussaint Louverture

Summary:

Ecole Toussaint Louverture is an elementary school located in East Orange, New Jersey, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 272 students. The school faces significant challenges, with consistently low academic performance, test scores, and high chronic absenteeism rates compared to other schools in the East Orange School District and the state of New Jersey.

Ecole Toussaint Louverture has a predominantly African American student population (80.15%), which is much higher than the state average of 15.1% for elementary schools. The school's proficiency rates on the NJSLA assessments are alarmingly low, with only 16.7% of 3rd-grade students proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to the state average of 42% and the district average of 29.6%. Additionally, the school's chronic absenteeism rate has risen from 13.5% in 2016-2017 to 31.7% in 2021-2022, significantly higher than the state average of 13.6% for elementary schools.

When compared to other nearby schools in the East Orange School District, such as Langston Hughes Elementary School, Ecole Toussaint Louverture consistently underperforms on academic measures. However, the school's African American students perform better relative to other schools in the state, ranking in the top 40-50% of New Jersey elementary schools for this subgroup. Addressing the school's overall challenges, particularly the high chronic absenteeism rate, will be crucial in improving the educational outcomes for the predominantly African American and economically disadvantaged student population at Ecole Toussaint Louverture.

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.
