Peshine Avenue School

Summary:

Peshine Avenue School is an elementary school serving grades PK-8 in the Newark Public School District in New Jersey, with a student population of 503 as of the 2022-2023 school year. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom 10% of New Jersey elementary schools over the past decade, with a predominantly African American (78.93%) and Hispanic (19.48%) student population.

Peshine Avenue School faces significant challenges, including extremely high chronic absenteeism rates ranging from 28.4% to 52.7% over the past several years, which is significantly higher than the state and district averages. Academically, the school's students perform poorly on state assessments, with proficiency rates ranging from 0% to 42.6% in English Language Arts and 0% to 17.5% in Mathematics across different grade levels, lagging behind the Newark Public School District and the state of New Jersey by a wide margin. The school's subgroups, including female students, male students, African American students, Hispanic students, special education students, and economically disadvantaged students, all perform poorly compared to their peers statewide.

While Peshine Avenue School's per-student spending of $11,004 in the 2018-2019 school year is higher than the state average, the school's academic outcomes remain very low. This suggests that resources alone may not be the primary driver of academic success, and other factors, such as instructional quality, school climate, and family engagement, may play a crucial role. Nearby schools in the Newark Public School District, such as Hawthorne Avenue School, George Washington Carver Elementary School, and Chancellor Avenue School, also struggle with low performance, high chronic absenteeism, and low rankings, indicating systemic issues within the district. In contrast, the Achieve Community Charter School, which is also located near Peshine Avenue School, performs significantly better on academic measures, despite serving a similar student population.

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.
