South 17th Street School

Summary:

South 17th Street School is an elementary school serving grades PK-8 in the Newark Public School District in Newark, New Jersey, with 335 students in a predominantly African American and Hispanic neighborhood.

The school has consistently ranked in the bottom 10-15% of New Jersey elementary schools over the past decade, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. This is due to several key factors: a significantly higher percentage of African American (80.9%) and Hispanic (17.61%) students compared to the state average, consistently low proficiency rates on standardized tests ranging from 8.3% to 51.7% in English Language Arts and 0% to 21.9% in Mathematics, and a high chronic absenteeism rate ranging from 32.2% to 55.8% over the past several years. Additionally, the school has a very high percentage of students (90.75%) eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

Interestingly, the nearby schools in the Irvington Public School District and the Newark Public School District show similar patterns of underperformance, high chronic absenteeism, and high percentages of economically disadvantaged students, suggesting that the challenges faced by South 17th Street School are not unique but are systemic issues within the broader educational landscape of the region. Addressing these challenges will require a comprehensive approach that considers the broader context and targeted interventions to support the diverse 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.
