George Washington Carver Elementary School

Summary:

George Washington Carver Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-8 in Newark, New Jersey, with 486 students. The school is part of the Newark Public School District, which is ranked 558 out of 613 districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

George Washington Carver Elementary School consistently ranks in the bottom 10% of New Jersey elementary schools, with academic performance significantly below the state and district averages across all grade levels and subjects. For example, in 2023-2024, the percentage of students proficient or better in English Language Arts ranged from 8.5% (3rd grade) to 25.8% (8th grade), compared to the state averages of 43.6% to 52.9%. In Mathematics, the school's proficiency rates ranged from 1.8% (4th grade) to 15.5% (6th grade), compared to the state averages of 45% to 47.6%. The school also has consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 12.7% to 28.1% over the past few years, significantly above the state average.

The nearby schools within the Newark Public School District (such as Peshine Avenue School, Belmont Runyon Elementary School, and Avon Avenue School) also perform poorly, with similar low academic proficiency rates and high chronic absenteeism. However, the nearby Ola Edwards Community School in the Hillside Public School District, while still below state averages, performs significantly better than George Washington Carver Elementary School and the other Newark schools, suggesting that factors beyond just district and socioeconomic status may be contributing to the poor performance.

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.
