Joseph H. Brensinger School

Summary:

Joseph H. Brensinger School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-8 in Jersey City, New Jersey, part of the Jersey City Public Schools district. With a diverse student population, the school has faced significant challenges, including consistently underperforming on standardized tests, high chronic absenteeism rates, and serving a large proportion of economically disadvantaged students.

Academically, Joseph H. Brensinger School lags behind both state and district averages, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics that are substantially lower than the state and district across all grade levels. For example, in 3rd grade ELA, the school's proficiency rate was just 24.5%, compared to 42% statewide and 40.3% in the district. The school also struggles with high chronic absenteeism, which has risen from 9.2% in 2016-2017 to 28.1% in 2021-2022, much higher than the state average. Additionally, a large majority (64.29%) of the school's students come from low-income families and qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating significant socioeconomic challenges faced by the population.

When compared to nearby schools, such as the Learning Community Charter School, Joseph H. Brensinger School generally performs worse on academic measures, has higher chronic absenteeism rates, and serves a higher proportion of economically disadvantaged students. These factors suggest that the school faces significant obstacles in providing a high-quality education to its students, and targeted interventions and support may be necessary to address the disparities and improve outcomes.

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.
