Speedway Avenue School

Summary:

Speedway Avenue School is an elementary school serving grades PK-8 in the Newark Public School District in Newark, New Jersey. With 566 students, it is one of the larger schools in the district, but has consistently ranked among the lowest-performing elementary schools in the state, receiving a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Speedway Avenue School significantly underperforms compared to the district and state on standardized tests, with only 25% of 3rd graders proficient in English Language Arts and just 3.5% of 6th graders and 12.8% of 8th graders scoring proficient in math. The school also struggles with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 12.7% to 28.1% over the past few years. Additionally, 86.22% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds.

This suggests that the challenges facing Speedway Avenue School are not unique to the school itself, but rather indicative of broader systemic issues within the Newark Public School District. Significant interventions and support are needed to improve student outcomes at Speedway Avenue School and address the root causes of its underperformance.

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.
