School 25

Summary:

School 25 is an elementary school in Paterson, New Jersey, serving grades PK-8 with a predominantly Hispanic student population. Unfortunately, the school has consistently ranked in the bottom 20% of New Jersey elementary schools, with low test scores, high chronic absenteeism, and significant disparities in student subgroup performance.

Key challenges facing School 25 include a chronic absenteeism rate of 45.1% in 2021-2022, far exceeding the state and district averages. Additionally, the school's test scores on the NJSLA assessments are well below state and district proficiency levels, with only 20.5% of 3rd graders proficient in English Language Arts and just 16.3% proficient in mathematics. When examining student subgroups, School 25 ranks in the bottom 25% of New Jersey elementary schools for White students and Special Education students, while performing better for Hispanic students and English Language Learners.

The struggles of School 25 are not unique, as several nearby schools in the Paterson Public School District face similar challenges, including School 20, Charles J. Riley School 9, and Dr. Martin Luther King Junior Educational Complex. These district-wide struggles suggest that addressing the underlying factors, such as high poverty levels and diverse student populations, will require a comprehensive, system-level approach to improve educational outcomes for all students in 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.
