Thirteenth Avenue School

Summary:

Thirteenth Avenue School is an elementary school serving grades PK-8 in the Newark Public School District in New Jersey. With 589 students, it is one of the larger schools in the area, but has consistently ranked among the lowest-performing elementary schools in the state, with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past several years.

Thirteenth Avenue School significantly underperforms compared to the district and the state on standardized tests, with only 5.3% of 3rd graders proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 23.4% in the district and 43.6% statewide. The school's math proficiency rates are also extremely low, with only 0-14.5% of students scoring proficient or better across grade levels. The school struggles to support the academic achievement of its diverse student population, ranking in the bottom 25-50% of New Jersey elementary schools for African American, Hispanic, English Language Learner, Special Education, and Low Socioeconomic Status students. Additionally, the school has consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 12.7% to 28.1% over the past few years, significantly higher than the state average.

In contrast, the nearby New Horizons Community Charter School and Philip's Academy Charter School demonstrate significantly higher academic performance, particularly in English Language Arts and Mathematics. This highlights the potential impact of alternative educational models and approaches. While Thirteenth Avenue School spends over $10,800 per student, which is higher than the spending at some of the nearby district schools, this suggests that simply increasing funding may not be the sole solution to improving academic outcomes. The school's relatively low student-teacher ratio of 11-12 students per teacher indicates that factors beyond just class size, such as instructional quality and school climate, may be contributing to the school's challenges.

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.
