Dr. Orlando Edreira Academy School No. 26

Summary:

Dr. Orlando Edreira Academy School No. 26 is an elementary school serving grades PK-8 in Elizabeth, New Jersey, with a student population of 694 as of the 2022-2023 school year. The school is part of the Elizabeth Public Schools district, which is ranked 508 out of 615 districts in New Jersey and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While the school's overall performance is below the state average, it stands out in the performance of certain student subgroups. The school's African American and English Language Learner (ELL) students rank in the top 30% and top 40% of New Jersey elementary schools, respectively, in English Language Arts (ELA) and mathematics proficiency. However, the school has seen a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 5.5% in 2018-2019 to 23.3% in 2021-2022, which is an area of concern compared to the state average of around 10-15%.

The school is located in close proximity to several other low-performing elementary schools in the Elizabeth Public Schools district, such as Joseph Battin School No 4, Mabel G. Homes School No. 5, and Winfield Scott School No. 2. This suggests a broader challenge facing the district in providing high-quality education to its students. However, the school's strong performance with certain subgroups suggests that targeted interventions and support strategies may be effective in improving overall student outcomes.

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.
