Oakwood Avenue Community School

Summary:

Oakwood Avenue Community School is an elementary school in Orange, New Jersey, serving students from pre-kindergarten to 7th grade. With a predominantly African American student population and high rates of poverty and chronic absenteeism, the school faces significant challenges, consistently ranking in the bottom 10-15% of New Jersey elementary schools in academic performance.

Oakwood Avenue Community School has a student body that is 67.97% African American, much higher than the surrounding schools in the Orange Board of Education School District, which range from 31.3% to 94.2% African American. The school's proficiency rates on state assessments are significantly below the state and district averages, and its chronic absenteeism rate has risen from 9.7% in 2016-2017 to 32.6% in 2021-2022, much higher than the 5.8% to 34.6% range of nearby schools. Additionally, around 80% of Oakwood Avenue's students receive free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage.

While the overall performance of Oakwood Avenue Community School is low, the school's African American students and low-socioeconomic status students perform relatively better compared to their peers at the school, ranking in the top half of New Jersey schools for those subgroups. The school also has a relatively high per-student spending of $10,552 and a low student-teacher ratio of 11.2, which may indicate a focus on smaller class sizes. However, these factors have not translated into improved academic outcomes, and the school's challenges are consistent with the broader issues facing the Orange Board of Education School District, as well as the nearby East Orange School District and East Orange Community Charter School, all of which have similar demographic and academic profiles.

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.
