Luis Munoz Marin Elementary School

Summary:

Luis Munoz Marin Elementary School is a public school in Newark Public School District, serving grades PK-8 with a total enrollment of 826 students. Unfortunately, this school has consistently ranked in the bottom 10% of New Jersey elementary schools over the past decade, with significant underperformance on standardized tests compared to the district and state averages.

The school's academic performance is particularly concerning, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts ranging from just 12.9% to 30.4% and math proficiency rates as low as 5.4%. Additionally, the school struggles with high chronic absenteeism rates, which are significantly higher than the state average. The challenges seem to disproportionately impact certain student subgroups, such as male students, English Language Learners, and students with disabilities.

While the nearby Newark public schools also perform poorly, they tend to outperform Luis Munoz Marin Elementary School. In contrast, the local charter schools in the area, such as Robert Treat Academy Charter School and Maria Varisco Rogers Charter School, significantly outperform the district schools on academic measures. Addressing the underlying socioeconomic and demographic challenges faced by Luis Munoz Marin Elementary School will likely be crucial for improving student learning and achievement.

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.
