Dr. E. Alma Flagg School

Summary:

Dr. E. Alma Flagg School is an elementary school serving grades PK-8 in the Newark Public School District, with 516 students. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom 10% of Dr. E. Alma Flagg School's academic performance is significantly below state and district averages across all grade levels and subjects, with only 13% of 3rd graders proficient or better in ELA, compared to 43.6% statewide and 23.4% in the Newark district. The school also struggles with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 12.7% to 28.1% over the past few years, significantly higher than the state average.

Nearby McKinley Elementary, Franklin Elementary, and Dr. William H. Horton Elementary also perform poorly but generally outperform Dr. E. Alma Flagg School. The nearby Gordon Parks Academy and Mildred Barry Garvin Elementary in the East Orange School District have slightly higher test scores and lower chronic absenteeism, though they still struggle academically. The Roseville Community Charter and Philip's Academy Charter schools in the area generally outperform the traditional public schools.

Despite the low performance, Dr. E. Alma Flagg School spends a similar amount per student ($9,797) compared to other Newark schools, suggesting that funding alone is not the primary driver of the school's challenges. Addressing the root causes of the school's struggles, whether through increased resources, improved instructional practices, or innovative school models, will be crucial to helping students at Dr. E. Alma Flagg School reach their full potential.

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.
