Sussex Avenue School

Summary:

Sussex Avenue School is an elementary school serving grades PK-8 in the Newark Public School District in New Jersey, with 513 students. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom 10-15% of New Jersey elementary schools over the past decade, earning 0-1 out of 5 stars from SchoolDigger, indicating it is performing well below state averages across a range of metrics.

Sussex Avenue School's test scores are significantly lower than the Newark Public School District and New Jersey state averages across all grade levels and subjects. For example, in 2023-2024, only 8.9% of 3rd graders were proficient or better in ELA, compared to 23.4% in the district and 43.6% statewide. The school also has consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 12.7% to 28.1% over the past few years, well above the state average. With 77-90% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, Sussex Avenue School serves a predominantly low-income population, which is a key factor contributing to its academic challenges.

The other schools in the immediate vicinity of Sussex Avenue School, such as McKinley Elementary, Thirteenth Avenue School, and Dr. E. Alma Flagg School, also perform poorly, with test scores and rankings similar to or slightly better than Sussex Avenue School. In contrast, the nearby Philip's Academy Charter School outperforms Sussex Avenue School and the district on most metrics, suggesting that alternative educational models may be more effective in addressing the needs of this 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.
