School 20

Summary:

School 20 is an elementary school located in Paterson, New Jersey, serving 374 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.

Despite its challenges, School 20 has some interesting findings that set it apart. The school consistently ranks among the lowest-performing elementary schools in New Jersey, with proficiency rates on state assessments that are significantly lower than the state and district averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2022-2023, only 15.6% of 3rd graders were proficient in English Language Arts, compared to 42% statewide, and just 5.4% were proficient in Mathematics, compared to 45.9% statewide. Additionally, School 20 has experienced a concerning increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 12.3% in 2016-2017 to 46.0% in 2021-2022, which is much higher than the state and district averages.

Interestingly, while the nearby schools in the Paterson Public School District also struggle academically, School 20 consistently performs worse than its peers. For instance, School 24, located just 0.71 miles away, outperforms School 20 on most academic measures, including higher proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics. Despite these challenges, School 20's per-student spending of $10,935 in 2018-2019 was higher than the state average, suggesting that funding alone may not be the primary driver of the school's underperformance.

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 20

The coronavirus has had a profound impact on education in America. Learning shifted online overnight, attendance numbers dwindled, and enrollment decreased. SchoolDigger.com is making it easier for you to better assess how COVID-19 has impacted your school. 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.
