Chessie Dentley Roberts Academy School No. 30 faces significant academic challenges, consistently ranking in the bottom quarter of New Jersey elementary schools over the past 10 years. The school's performance on state assessments is significantly below the state and district averages across all grade levels and subject areas, with proficiency rates ranging from 19.6% to 63.2% in English Language Arts and 14% to 36% in mathematics, compared to state averages of 42% to 55.7% and 33.8% to 45.9%, respectively. The school's science proficiency rates are also very low, with 8.1% for 5th grade and 3.4% for 8th grade, compared to state averages of 26.8% and 18.6%. Additionally, the school has experienced a concerning increase in chronic absenteeism, from 4.2% in 2018-2019 to 14.5% in 2021-2022, which is higher than the state average.

Interestingly, the nearby schools within the Elizabeth Public Schools district, such as Elmora School No. 12, Nicholas Murray Butler Academy School No. 23, and Toussaint Louverture-Marquis de Lafayette School No. 6, also perform poorly on academic measures and have high rates of economic disadvantage, similar to Chessie Dentley Roberts Academy School No. 30.

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.
