Cleveland Street Elementary School

Summary:

Cleveland Street Elementary School is a public elementary school in Orange, New Jersey, serving grades PK-7 with a total enrollment of 292 students. The school is part of the Orange Board of Education School District, which is ranked 499 out of 615 school districts in New Jersey and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Cleveland Street Elementary School faces significant challenges, with consistently low academic performance, high chronic absenteeism, and a student population that is predominantly African American (54.45%) and Hispanic (43.49%) and economically disadvantaged (75.34% eligible for free or reduced-price lunch). The school's performance lags behind both state and district averages, with only 3.1% of 3rd-grade students proficient or better in English Language Arts and 15-25% proficient in Mathematics across grades 3-7. In comparison, the nearby Central Elementary School and Park Avenue Elementary School, which are also part of the Orange Board of Education district, perform slightly better on standardized tests.

The significant disparities in per-student spending between Cleveland Street Elementary School ($11,904) and the nearby Orange Early Childhood Center ($46,744) suggest potential funding and resource inequities within the district. Addressing these disparities, as well as learning from the successes of nearby higher-performing schools, could be crucial in improving the educational outcomes for the students at Cleveland Street Elementary School.

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.
