Summary:
The 07093 zip code area is home to 10 schools, including 8 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. These schools serve a predominantly Hispanic student population and face significant challenges, with most performing below state averages in academic proficiency. However, a few standout schools, such as Public School Number Two and Anna L. Klein, demonstrate that with the right strategies and resources, the district can improve educational outcomes for its students.
Public School Number Two stands out as the top-performing school in the data set, with the highest proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science across multiple grade levels. Anna L. Klein is another high-performing school, with strong proficiency rates in English Language Arts and the lowest student-teacher ratio of 10.9 among the schools. In contrast, Memorial High School, the only high school in the data set, has a low 1-star rating from SchoolDigger and relatively low proficiency rates, but maintains a respectable 82.2% four-year graduation rate and a low 0.8% dropout rate.
The data reveals significant disparities in academic performance among the schools, with a strong correlation between socioeconomic status and educational outcomes. The West New York School District, which encompasses most of the schools in the data set, is ranked 497 out of 615 districts in New Jersey and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating the significant challenges the district faces in providing quality education to its students. However, the presence of the Early Childhood School suggests a recognition of the importance of early childhood education in the district, and the pockets of success seen in schools like Public School Number Two and Anna L. Klein offer hope for the district's future.
