Thomas Jefferson School No. 1

Summary:

Thomas Jefferson School No. 1 is an elementary school located in Passaic, New Jersey, serving grades K-8 with a total enrollment of 446 students. The school is part of the Passaic City School District, which has consistently underperformed compared to the state of New Jersey.

Thomas Jefferson School No. 1 has faced significant challenges, including consistently low academic performance on standardized tests, with proficiency rates ranging from just 13.2% in 8th grade English Language Arts to 25.5% in 3rd grade Mathematics. The school also struggles with high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 16.6% to 37.4% over the past few years, and an extremely high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, between 96.1% and 99.78%. These issues are not unique to Thomas Jefferson School No. 1, as other elementary schools in the Passaic City School District, such as Mario Drago School No. 3, William B. Cruise Memorial School No. 11, and Sonia Sotomayor School #21, also face similar challenges.

When comparing Thomas Jefferson School No. 1 to elementary schools in the neighboring Clifton Public School District, the performance gap becomes even more pronounced. Schools like School #13, School #15, and School #9 in Clifton significantly outperform Thomas Jefferson School No. 1 on academic measures, have lower rates of chronic absenteeism, and serve a more socioeconomically diverse student population. This highlights the disparities in educational opportunities and outcomes between the two districts.

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.
