Sovereign Avenue School

Summary:

Sovereign Avenue School is an elementary school in Atlantic City, New Jersey, serving grades PK-8 with a student population of 698. The school faces significant challenges, as it consistently ranks in the bottom 25% of New Jersey elementary schools and performs well below state and district averages on standardized tests.

Sovereign Avenue School's academic performance is a major concern, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts ranging from 26.6% to 51.2%, compared to the state average of 43.6% to 53.9%. In Mathematics, the proficiency rates are even lower, ranging from 10.1% to 30.2%, compared to the state average of 19.4% to 47.6%. The school also has high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 11.7% to 37.9%, which is significantly higher than the state average. Additionally, the school has a very high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high-poverty student population.

Interestingly, the nearby Ventnor Elementary School and William H. Ross III School, which are outside the Atlantic City School District, have significantly higher academic performance and lower rates of poverty, suggesting the impact of district-level factors on school outcomes. However, Sovereign Avenue School's performance on Algebra I assessments is notably higher than the district and state averages, indicating potential strengths in mathematics instruction for advanced students.

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.
