Martin Center for the Arts

Summary:

Martin Center for the Arts is a public elementary school serving 425 students in grades PK-8 in Jersey City, New Jersey, which is part of the Jersey City Public Schools district. The school faces significant challenges, with a 0-star rating, low academic performance, high chronic absenteeism, and a student population that is predominantly African American and economically disadvantaged.

Compared to other nearby public schools in Jersey City, such as Ollie Culbreth Junior School and President Barack Obama Elementary School, Martin Center for the Arts consistently ranks among the lowest-performing schools in the district. Its proficiency rates on state assessments are significantly lower than the district and state averages across all grade levels and subjects. Additionally, the school has experienced a sharp increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 19.6% in 2016-2017 to 51.5% in 2021-2022.

Despite the school's challenges, there are some interesting findings. While the overall performance is poor, Martin Center for the Arts' African American and Hispanic students perform better relative to their peers at the state level, suggesting the school may be providing some support for these historically underserved populations. Additionally, the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 10.8, which is lower than the ratios at many of the surrounding schools. However, this increased resource allocation has not yet translated into improved academic outcomes for the students at Martin Center for the Arts.

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.
