Elliott Street Elementary consistently ranks in the bottom 10% of New Jersey elementary schools, with very low proficiency rates on state assessments. In 2022-2023, only 9.5% of 3rd graders were proficient in English Language Arts, compared to 42% statewide and 19.1% in the Newark district. Math and science proficiency rates are also extremely low, with only 5.4% of 5th graders and 9.6% of 8th graders meeting or exceeding standards in math, and just 4.3% of 5th graders and 4.8% of 8th graders meeting or exceeding standards in science. The school also struggles with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 10.7% to 27.6% over the past several years.

The school's struggles are particularly acute for its Hispanic and English Language Learner populations, highlighting the need for specialized support and programs to address the unique needs of these student subgroups.

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.

Open Quote this school used to be an excellent school now its just ok. since the beginning of the 2022 school year they havent got anything right. from notify parents of what class or teacher the student will get, to the simplest announcement of what school supplies woul be needed. theyve change principals 3 times in a matter of 8 yrs. the new principal is barely around to speak with parents or the teachers.hes only around when its a matter of him looking good to his peers. the school no longer has any structure and the principal is mostly to blame. school letters are sent at a late rate with insufficient amount of time to respond. certain teachers aides are collecting paychecks without moving a finger but this principal does nothing to make the school more successful and apart of our families like it was years before.

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.
