Roosevelt School #7

Summary:

Roosevelt School #7 is an elementary school in Garfield, New Jersey, serving students from pre-kindergarten to 5th grade as part of the Garfield Public School District. The school has a unique student population, with a significantly higher Hispanic enrollment compared to nearby schools. However, Roosevelt School #7 has faced challenges, including rising chronic absenteeism and mixed academic performance on standardized tests.

One key differentiator is the school's racial makeup, with 57.69% of students identifying as Hispanic, which is notably higher than the surrounding schools in the area. Additionally, Roosevelt School #7 has experienced a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 9.5% in 2018-2019 to 22.8% in 2021-2022, which is higher than the range of 15.2% to 29.8% seen in nearby schools. Academically, the school has shown mixed results, outperforming the district and state in 5th-grade English Language Arts and Science, but underperforming in 3rd and 4th-grade English Language Arts, as well as 3rd, 4th, and 5th-grade Mathematics.

Compared to other schools in the Garfield Public School District, Roosevelt School #7 generally performs below average in terms of test scores and school rankings. However, it's worth noting that the nearby schools also face their own challenges, with several of them ranking in the bottom half of New Jersey elementary schools. The high rates of chronic absenteeism and free/reduced lunch eligibility at Roosevelt School #7 may be contributing factors to the school's relatively lower academic performance, and addressing these issues will be crucial for improving the school's overall 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.
