Daniel F. Ryan Elementary School No. 19

Summary:

Daniel F. Ryan Elementary School No. 19 is a public school in Passaic, New Jersey, serving 731 students in grades 1-8. The school is part of the Passaic City School District, which is ranked 556 out of 613 school districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Daniel F. Ryan Elementary consistently ranks in the bottom 15% of New Jersey elementary schools, with significantly below-average performance on state assessments. In 2023-2024, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts ranged from 14.6% to 38.6%, compared to the state average of 43.6% to 53.9%. In Mathematics, the school's proficiency rates were 6.3% to 23.9%, compared to the state average of 36.2% to 47.6%. The school also has very low proficiency rates on science assessments. Student subgroups, including Hispanic and Special Education students, perform particularly poorly compared to state averages. Additionally, the school experiences high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 16.6% to 37.4% over the past few years.

The challenges faced by Daniel F. Ryan Elementary are not unique to the school; nearby schools within the Passaic City School District also struggle academically, with similarly low proficiency rates and high chronic absenteeism. In contrast, schools in the neighboring Clifton Public School District generally perform better, despite serving a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students. This suggests that factors such as funding, resources, and district-level policies and practices may be contributing to the poor academic outcomes in the Passaic City School District.

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.
