The school has a diverse student population, with a racial makeup that differs significantly from nearby Mahatma K. Gandhi School. However, Dr. Charles P. DeFuccio School consistently ranks in the bottom 10-15% of New Jersey elementary schools, with proficiency rates in NJSLA English Language Arts and Mathematics that are notably lower than state and district averages, particularly in the higher grade levels. The school has also experienced a concerning increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 9.0% in 2016-2017 to 26.1% in 2021-2022, which is higher than nearby schools like Joseph H. Brensinger (28.1%) and Mahatma K. Gandhi (36.3%).

The academic challenges faced by Dr. Charles P. DeFuccio School are multifaceted, with significant achievement gaps among student subgroups and a high percentage of students (57.95%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively low socioeconomic status. While nearby schools like Mahatma K. Gandhi and Joseph H. Brensinger also struggle academically, they generally outperform Dr. Charles P. DeFuccio School on NJSLA assessments and have lower chronic absenteeism rates. Addressing the root causes of the school's performance issues, such as chronic absenteeism and achievement gaps, will be crucial in improving student outcomes and providing a high-quality education for all students.

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.
