Summary:

East Side High School is a public high school in Newark, New Jersey, serving 2,255 students in grades 9-12 as part of the Newark Public School District. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom quarter of New Jersey high schools over the past decade, with a current ranking of 388 out of 426 schools and a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

East Side High School underperforms compared to state and district averages on standardized tests, with only 24% of 9th-grade students proficient or better in English Language Arts and just 7% proficient or better in Algebra I. The school also has a higher dropout rate, ranging from 0.7% to 2.6% over the past few years, and a significantly higher chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 12.7% to 28.1%. While the school's four-year graduation rate is on par with the district and state, its performance is particularly concerning for certain student subgroups, ranking in the bottom quarter of New Jersey high schools for African American, Hispanic, and White student performance, as well as for students from low socioeconomic backgrounds.

However, there are some bright spots in the Newark Public School District.

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.
