School 18

Summary:

School 18 is an elementary school located in Paterson, New Jersey, serving grades 1-8 with a total enrollment of 757 students. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom 10-15% of New Jersey elementary schools, with a 1-star rating for most years.

School 18 faces significant challenges in terms of academic performance, with proficiency rates in NJSLA English Language Arts and Mathematics significantly lower than state and district averages across all grade levels. The school's performance is particularly weak in Mathematics, with proficiency rates ranging from 2.7% in 8th grade to 27.4% in 3rd grade. Subgroup performance is also concerning, with African American and Special Education students ranking in the bottom 10-15% of their respective subgroups statewide. Additionally, the school has consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 16.6% to 49.6% over the past few years, significantly higher than the state and district averages.

While the challenges faced by School 18 are not unique, as nearby Paterson Public School District schools also struggle with similar issues, the stark contrast in performance between School 18 and the nearby schools in the Fair Lawn and Hawthorne districts highlights the importance of factors such as district leadership, resource allocation, and community engagement in driving student success. Addressing the root causes of the school's underperformance, such as chronic absenteeism and economic disadvantage, will be crucial for improving outcomes for the students of School 18.

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.
