Martin Center for the Arts

Summary:

Martin Center for the Arts is an elementary school (grades PK-8) located in Jersey City Public Schools, a district ranked 455 out of 613 in New Jersey. With 425 students and a student-teacher ratio of around 10-11, the school has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 69-75% over the past few years.

Academically, Martin Center for the Arts consistently ranks in the bottom 10-15% of New Jersey elementary schools based on statewide assessments. Proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics are significantly lower than the district and state averages across all grade levels. For example, in 2023-2024, only 4.2% of 3rd graders were proficient in ELA compared to 42.8% in the district and 43.6% statewide. The school also has very high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 16.6% to 45.5% over the past few years, much higher than the district and state averages.

Interestingly, the nearby Ollie Culbreth Junior School and President Barack Obama Elementary School, also part of the Jersey City Public Schools district, generally outperform Martin Center for the Arts on statewide assessments. Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending of $12,741, the academic outcomes do not seem to reflect this investment, suggesting a need for more targeted interventions and support to address the root causes of the school's challenges.

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.
