Best Public Schools in Zip Code 07107

Summary:

The 07107 zip code area of Newark, New Jersey is home to 6 schools, including 5 elementary schools and 1 high school, all part of the Newark Public School District, except for Roseville Community Charter School. While the high school, Essex County Donald M. Payne Senior School of Technology, stands out with strong performance and high graduation rates, the elementary schools in the district struggle to meet state averages, highlighting significant achievement gaps.

The data reveals that Roseville Community Charter School outperforms the district and state in 4th grade English Language Arts and Mathematics, suggesting the potential for charter schools to provide higher-quality education in this underserved community. However, the consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 16.6% across all schools, likely contribute to the overall academic challenges faced by these schools, which also have high rates of economic disadvantage, with free/reduced lunch recipients ranging from 77.39% to 93.38%.

While Essex County Donald M. Payne Senior School of Technology stands out with a statewide ranking of 148th out of 426 New Jersey high schools, the other schools in the data set have very low rankings, with several in the bottom 10-15% of New Jersey elementary schools. This suggests a wide disparity in performance within the Newark Public School District, underscoring the need for targeted interventions and support to improve educational outcomes in this community.
