School 8

Summary:

School 8 is an elementary school located in Paterson, New Jersey, serving grades K-8 with a total enrollment of 454 students. It is part of the Paterson Public School District, which has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger and is ranked 572 out of 613 districts in the state.

School 8 has consistently ranked in the bottom 10% of New Jersey elementary schools over the past decade, with a ranking between 1217-1321 out of around 1,350 schools. The school significantly underperforms compared to the district and state in standardized test scores across all grade levels and subjects. For example, in 2023-2024, only 2.2% of 3rd graders at School 8 were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 17.3% in the district and 43.6% statewide. Charles J. Riley/ School 9, a nearby school, had 50% of 8th graders proficient or better in the same subject, outperforming School 8. The school also faces extremely high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 16.6% to 49.6% over the past few years.

While School 8 has a relatively high per-student spending of $9,233, the academic outcomes remain poor, suggesting that simply increasing funding may not be the sole solution to improving performance. The nearby Philip's Academy Charter School of Paterson and Community Charter School of Paterson generally outperform the traditional public schools in the Paterson Public School District, including School 8, in academic achievement, suggesting that a more comprehensive and targeted approach may be necessary to address the root causes of the poor performance at School 8.

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.

Pre and Post Pandemic Data

Impact of COVID-19 on School 8

The coronavirus has had a profound impact on education in America. Learning shifted online overnight, attendance numbers dwindled, and enrollment decreased.

Through the collection of pre-pandemic (2019) and current data, SchoolDigger.com is sharing test scores, enrollment numbers and school demographics from schools across the country – and we make it easy to see how impacted schools compare locally and statewide.
