Park Avenue Elementary School

Summary:

Park Avenue Elementary School is a public school located in Orange, New Jersey, serving grades PK-8 with a total enrollment of 387 students. The school has a diverse student population, with a racial makeup of 50.9% African American and 46.51% Hispanic.

Despite its diverse student body, Park Avenue Elementary School consistently ranks in the bottom 20% of New Jersey elementary schools, with low proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics. The school also faces challenges with high chronic absenteeism, ranging from 6.1% to 21.2% over the past 5 years, and a high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 60.21% to 77.65% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. When compared to other nearby schools within the Orange Board of Education School District, such as Oakwood Avenue Community School, Central Elementary School, and Cleveland Street Elementary School, the academic performance and other key metrics are generally similar, with all schools ranking in the bottom 20% of New Jersey elementary schools.

However, the school's African American and Hispanic student subgroups perform relatively better compared to their peers in other New Jersey elementary schools, ranking in the middle to upper-middle range for these subgroups. This suggests that there may be potential opportunities for targeted interventions and strategies to improve overall academic achievement and address the challenges faced by the school, which may not be solely due to a lack of funding, as the school's per-student spending of $11,933 in the 2018-2019 school year is higher than the state average.

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.
