South Street Elementary School

Summary:

South Street Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-8 in Newark, New Jersey, with an enrollment of 864 students. The school faces significant challenges, consistently ranking in the bottom 20% of New Jersey elementary schools over the past decade and underperforming on state assessments compared to state and district averages.

South Street Elementary School's academic performance is a major concern, with only 37.9% of 3rd graders proficient in ELA and 28% proficient in Math, far below the state averages of 43.6% and 47.6%, respectively. This stagnant performance has persisted over the past five years, despite the school receiving a relatively high per-student spending of $10,591. In comparison, nearby schools like Lafayette Street School and Wilson Avenue School, while still struggling, perform significantly better than South Street Elementary across various metrics.

Another challenge facing the school is chronic absenteeism, which has ranged from 8.9% to 28.1% over the past five years, well above the state average. The student population at South Street Elementary is predominantly economically disadvantaged, with 88.31% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. While these demographic factors may contribute to the school's challenges, there are also high-performing charter school alternatives in the area, such as Newark Educators Community Charter School and The Gray Charter School, demonstrating that with the right educational approach and resources, students in the Newark area can achieve much higher levels of academic success.

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.
