J. Garfield Jackson Senior Academy

Summary:

J. Garfield Jackson Senior Academy is an elementary school in East Orange, New Jersey, serving students from pre-kindergarten to 5th grade as part of the East Orange School District, which is ranked 525 out of 615 school districts in the state.

The school has a significantly higher percentage of African American students (84.19%) compared to the state average, as well as a higher percentage of Hispanic students (11.46%) and a lower percentage of White students (1.19%). Academically, J. Garfield Jackson Senior Academy has consistently ranked in the bottom third of New Jersey elementary schools, with performance below the state and district averages in most subject areas and grade levels. The school has also experienced a concerning increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 15.3% in 2018-2019 to 34.6% in 2021-2022, which is notably higher than the state and district averages. Despite these challenges, the school's African American students perform relatively well compared to other African American students in the state, ranking in the top 30% of schools for this subgroup.

The struggles faced by J. Garfield Jackson Senior Academy are not unique, as the nearby schools in the East Orange School District and the Orange School District also rank in the bottom third of New Jersey elementary schools. This suggests that the issues are systemic within the broader educational landscape of the area. While the school's relatively high per-student spending of $11,552 in 2018-2019 indicates adequate funding, the persistent academic challenges indicate that the resources may not be effectively allocated or utilized to support student learning and achievement.

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.
