Summary:
The 07014 zip code area of Clifton, New Jersey is home to a single elementary school, School #8, which is part of the Clifton Public School District. This school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of New Jersey elementary schools, with a 2-star performance rating from SchoolDigger. The school's academic proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science are significantly below the district and state averages, indicating an underperforming institution.
Despite the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio and higher per-student spending compared to the district and state, these resources do not appear to be translating into improved academic outcomes. The high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at School #8 suggests that the school may be serving a population with significant socioeconomic challenges, which could be contributing to the school's persistent underperformance.
The analysis of School #8 highlights the need for targeted interventions and support to address the specific challenges faced by the school and its student population. While the school may be receiving additional resources, the data indicates that more needs to be done to improve the academic performance and overall quality of education for the students in this area.
