School 19

Summary:

School 19 is an elementary school in Paterson Public School District, serving students from kindergarten to 4th grade. The school has a diverse student population, with a racial makeup that has shifted over the years, seeing a decrease in White and African American students and an increase in Hispanic and Asian students.

Despite being part of a low-performing district, School 19 stands out with its significant academic challenges. Only 11% of 3rd graders and 43.3% of 4th graders were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to the state averages of 42% and 51.3%. In Mathematics, 25.6% of 3rd graders and 31.4% of 4th graders were proficient, far below the state averages of 45.9% and 44.3%. The school also faces high rates of chronic absenteeism, reaching 38.8% in the 2021-2022 school year, much higher than the state average. Additionally, 52.19% of students at School 19 come from low socioeconomic backgrounds, which may contribute to the academic struggles.

When comparing School 19 to other nearby schools in the Paterson Public School District, such as School 2, School 3, and Rev. Dr. Frank Napier Junior School, it becomes clear that the academic performance challenges are not unique to School 19. However, the nearby Community Charter School of Paterson generally outperforms the public schools in the district, suggesting that addressing the underlying issues at School 19 could lead to significant improvements.

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.
