School 10

Summary:

School 10 is an elementary school in the Paterson Public School District in Paterson, New Jersey, serving grades K-8 with 569 students. The school is located in a high-poverty area, with 75.75% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.

Despite the relatively high per-student spending and low student-teacher ratio, School 10 has consistently ranked among the lowest-performing elementary schools in New Jersey, with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school significantly underperforms compared to the district and state on standardized tests, with only 7% of 3rd graders proficient or better in English Language Arts and 14.9% in mathematics. Additionally, School 10 struggles with extremely high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 16.6% to 53.7% over the past few years.

While the nearby schools in the Paterson Public School District, such as School 12, School 21, and Rev. Dr. Frank Napier Junior School, also perform poorly, School 28 stands out as a high-performing school in the district, with exceptional results in both English Language Arts and Mathematics. This suggests that with the right strategies, leadership, and support, School 10 and other struggling schools in Paterson could potentially improve their performance and outcomes for students.

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.
