James J Ferris High School

Summary:

James J Ferris High School is a public high school serving grades 9-12 in Jersey City, New Jersey, part of the Jersey City Public Schools district. With a diverse student population, the school has consistently ranked in the bottom quarter of New Jersey high schools and received a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating it is among the lowest-performing high schools in the state.

The school's challenges are evident in its key metrics. Its four-year graduation rate has ranged from 82.0% to 84.7% over the past 5 years, lower than the state average and nearby high-performing schools like Liberty High School and Dr. Ronald McNair High School, both of which have 100% graduation rates. James J Ferris High School's proficiency rates on state assessments are also significantly lower than state and district averages, and the school has consistently high chronic absenteeism rates.

Comparing James J Ferris High School to other schools in the area reveals stark differences. While the school's diverse student population and high percentage of economically disadvantaged students may be contributing factors, nearby high schools like County Prep High School and Dr. Ronald McNair High School have significantly higher statewide rankings, graduation rates, and test scores, suggesting that the challenges faced by James J Ferris High School are not necessarily shared by all schools in the Jersey City Public Schools district.

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.
