Schuyler Elementary School

Summary:

Schuyler Elementary School is a public elementary school in Kearny, New Jersey, serving 453 students from pre-kindergarten to 6th grade. The school is part of the Kearny School District, which is ranked 491 out of 615 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Schuyler Elementary School stands out for its diverse student population, with a significantly higher percentage of Hispanic students (62.03%) compared to the state average. The school outperforms the district and state in English Language Arts (ELA) test scores, but its math scores are generally lower. Notably, the school has experienced a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 9.3% in 2020-2021 to 17.6% in 2021-2022. Schuyler's Hispanic and English Language Learner (ELL) students perform better than the state average, while its White and Special Education students perform worse. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students (54.75%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively high level of economic disadvantage.

Compared to nearby schools, Schuyler Elementary School generally outperforms other Kearny public elementary schools in both ELA and math test scores, but lags behind the nearby North Arlington schools in academic performance and student demographics. The school's strong performance with Hispanic and ELL students suggests effective support for these populations, but the lower performance of White and Special Education students indicates a need for targeted interventions. Overall, Schuyler Elementary School appears to be a relatively high-performing school within its district, but faces challenges in math performance and chronic absenteeism that should be addressed.

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.
