Abington Avenue School

Summary:

Abington Avenue School is an elementary school serving grades PK-8 in the Newark Public School District in New Jersey. With 837 students, it is one of the larger schools in the district. However, the school has consistently been ranked in the bottom 15% of New Jersey elementary schools over the past decade, earning a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Abington Avenue School has struggled academically, with only 24.4% of 3rd graders proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 23.4% for the district and 43.6% statewide. The school's math proficiency rates are also significantly lower than the district and state averages across all grade levels. Additionally, the school has high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 7.7% to 28.1% over the past few years, which is closely linked to lower academic achievement. When comparing Abington Avenue School to nearby schools, such as First Avenue School, it becomes clear that the school is underperforming relative to its peers.

The data also reveals that charter schools in the area, such as Robert Treat Academy and Maria Varisco Rogers Charter School, consistently outperform Abington Avenue School and the Newark Public School District as a whole on academic measures. This suggests that the charter school model may be more effective in addressing the needs of students in this community. Despite the school's poor academic performance, Abington Avenue School's per-student spending of $8,498 in 2018-2019 was relatively high compared to the state average, raising questions about the efficient allocation of resources and the need for a more targeted approach to improving educational outcomes.

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.
