Mario Drago School No. 3

Summary:

Mario Drago School No. 3 is an elementary school serving grades PK-8 in the Passaic City School District in New Jersey, with 694 students. Unfortunately, the school consistently underperforms the district and state averages on standardized tests, with only 26.2% of 3rd graders proficient in English Language Arts and 33.9% proficient in Math, compared to 43.6% and 47.6% statewide, respectively.

The school faces significant challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates ranging from 16.2% to 37.4% and an extremely high percentage of students (92.92% to 99.07%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a very low socioeconomic status. While the school's per-student spending and student-teacher ratio are relatively small compared to nearby schools, these factors have not translated into improved academic performance. Interestingly, the nearby schools within the Passaic City School District all have similar low performance and high poverty characteristics, while schools in the neighboring Wallington Boro and East Rutherford districts generally perform better and have lower poverty rates.

Addressing the underlying issues of poverty, attendance, and academic achievement will be crucial for Mario Drago School No. 3 to improve its performance and provide a better educational experience for its students. The school's struggles are not unique within the Passaic City School District, but the disparities with nearby districts highlight the need for targeted interventions and resource allocation to support the diverse student population at Mario Drago School No. 3.

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.
