School 10

Summary:

School 10 is an elementary school located in Paterson, New Jersey, serving 569 students in grades K-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.

School 10 has consistently ranked in the bottom 1% of New Jersey elementary schools over the past 10 years, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics that are significantly lower than the district and state averages. The school's performance is particularly concerning for African American, Hispanic, English Language Learner, and special education students, who rank in the bottom 5% to 20% of their respective subgroups in the state. Additionally, School 10 has experienced a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 28.0% in 2017-2018 to 71.9% in 2021-2022, much higher than the district and state averages.

While the nearby schools within the Paterson Public School District, such as School 13, School 28, and Alexander Hamilton Academy, also face similar challenges, the stark contrast with the high-performing School 28, which is ranked 1st out of 1,342 New Jersey elementary schools, highlights the potential for improvement within the Paterson Public School District.

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.
