Rev. Dr. Frank Napier Junior School

Summary:

Rev. Dr. Frank Napier Junior School is an elementary school in Paterson, New Jersey, serving 517 students in grades 1-8. The school is part of the Paterson Public School District, which is ranked 573 out of 615 districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

The school faces significant challenges, with a high chronic absenteeism rate that has risen from 19% to 60.5% in recent years. Academically, the school's proficiency rates on state assessments are well below state and district averages, with only 12.7% of 3rd-graders proficient in English Language Arts, compared to 42% statewide and 13.8% in the district. The school consistently ranks among the lowest-performing elementary schools in New Jersey, placing in the bottom 5-10% over the past decade. Certain student subgroups, such as African American and Hispanic students, as well as English Language Learners and students with disabilities, perform particularly poorly.

While the nearby schools in the Paterson district also struggle academically, some, like School 28, have significantly outperformed Rev. Dr. Frank Napier Junior School, with 100% proficiency rates in some grade levels. The school's relatively high spending per student of $10,865 and low student-teacher ratio of 14.9 suggest that funding and class size are not the primary drivers of the school's poor performance. Addressing the underlying issues, such as improving student attendance and engagement, and providing targeted academic interventions, will be crucial for the school to improve student outcomes.

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.
