Alfred Zampella School

Summary:

Alfred Zampella School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-8 in the diverse community of Jersey City, New Jersey. With a student population that is 59.48% Hispanic, 23.32% Asian, 9.98% White, and 6.36% African American, the school is part of the Jersey City Public Schools district, which is ranked 459 out of 615 districts in the state.

One of the school's key strengths is its generally strong performance on standardized tests, often outpacing the district and state averages, particularly in the upper grades (6-8) for English Language Arts and 8th grade Algebra I. However, the school's performance varies across different student subgroups, with female and Hispanic students performing well, but male and Asian students lagging behind. Notably, the school's special education students excel, ranking in the top 10% of New Jersey elementary schools for this subgroup.

Despite these academic successes, Alfred Zampella School faces some challenges, including a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 12.1% in 2016-2017 to 31.7% in 2021-2022 - higher than the district and state averages. When compared to nearby schools, such as Nicolaus Copernicus School, John F Kennedy Elementary School, and Charles E. Trefurt School, Alfred Zampella generally performs better on standardized tests, especially in English Language Arts. However, it lags behind some high-performing schools in the area, like Sara M. Gilmore Academy and Wallace Elementary School.

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.
