Albio Sires Elementary School

Summary:

Albio Sires Elementary School is a public elementary school in West New York, New Jersey, serving 560 students in grades K-6. The school is part of the West New York School District, which is ranked 478 out of 613 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Albio Sires Elementary School has consistently ranked in the bottom third of New Jersey elementary schools, with a ranking between 913-1115 out of 1338 schools in the 2023-2024 school year. The school's performance on standardized tests is significantly below the state and district averages across all grade levels and subject areas. Additionally, the school has a high chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 16.6% to 23% over the past few years, which is higher than the state and district averages. The school also has a very high percentage of students (86.43% to 87.05%) who qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

The challenges faced by Albio Sires Elementary School appear to be systemic within the West New York School District, as nearby schools such as Public School Number Five, Robert Menendez Elementary School, and Harry L Bain also perform poorly on standardized tests and have high chronic absenteeism rates. The school's high spending per student ($11,238 in 2018-2019) does not seem to translate into better academic outcomes, suggesting that addressing the root causes of these issues, such as poverty and resource allocation, will be crucial for improving the school's performance.

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.
