Abington Avenue School

Summary:

Abington Avenue School is an elementary school serving grades PK-8 in the Newark Public School District in Newark, New Jersey. The school has a student population of 837 as of the 2022-2023 school year, with a predominantly Hispanic student body (92%).

Despite its location in Newark, Abington Avenue School has consistently ranked in the bottom 10-15% of New Jersey elementary schools over the past decade, earning a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's academic performance, as measured by proficiency rates on the NJSLA assessments, is significantly lower than the state and district averages across grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2022-2023 school year, only 23.3% of 3rd graders were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 42% statewide and 19.1% in the district. The school also struggles with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 14% to 19.4% in recent years.

When comparing Abington Avenue School to nearby schools, both within and outside the Newark Public School District, several interesting patterns emerge. Nearby district schools, such as Dr. William H. Horton Elementary School and Roberto Clemente Elementary School, also struggle with low academic performance and high chronic absenteeism, suggesting systemic challenges within the district. In contrast, the nearby Robert Treat Academy Charter School significantly outperforms Abington Avenue School and other district schools on academic measures, with proficiency rates well above the state average. Additionally, Carteret Elementary School, located in the neighboring Bloomfield Township School District, demonstrates higher academic performance than Abington Avenue School, despite serving a student population with similar socioeconomic characteristics.

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.
