Mario Drago School No. 3

Summary:

Mario Drago School No. 3 is an elementary school serving grades PK-8 in the Passaic City School District in Passaic, New Jersey. With a student population of 694, the school is ranked 1200 out of 1342 New Jersey elementary schools and receives a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating significant challenges.

The school faces several key issues that set it apart from nearby schools. It has seen a sharp increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 9.8% in 2016-2017 to 30.0% in 2021-2022, which is notably higher than Thomas Jefferson School No. 1 (36.2%) and Sonia Sotomayor School #21 (30.5%). Additionally, Mario Drago School No. 3 consistently underperforms the Passaic City School District and the state of New Jersey in both English Language Arts and Mathematics assessments, with only 21.9% of 3rd-grade students proficient or better in ELA, compared to 16.5% for the district and 42% for the state.

The school also faces significant socioeconomic challenges, with an extremely high percentage of students (98.99%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, which is higher than nearby schools like William B. Cruise Memorial School No. 11 (99.78%) and Sonia Sotomayor School #21 (99.89%). Despite these challenges, the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 11.5, suggesting potential staffing and resource issues that may be impacting its ability to provide effective instruction and support to its predominantly Hispanic student population.

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.
