Edward W. Kilpatrick consistently ranks among the lowest-performing elementary schools in New Jersey, placing in the bottom 5% of schools statewide. In the 2022-2023 school year, only 3.3% of 3rd-grade students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, and just 4.4% were proficient or better in Mathematics, significantly below state and district averages. The school has also experienced a concerning increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 18.1% in 2016-2017 to 68.9% in 2021-2022. Additionally, 66.38% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds.

When compared to nearby schools in the Paterson district, Edward W. Kilpatrick's performance is particularly concerning.

Kilpatrick. The school's poor academic outcomes, especially for its African American and Hispanic student populations, suggest that the Paterson Public School District needs to prioritize addressing the underlying issues at Edward W. Kilpatrick to ensure all students have access to a high-quality education.

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.
