Plainfield Academy For The Arts & Advanced Studies appears to be a relatively strong performer within the Plainfield Public School District, outpacing the district's overall performance in English Language Arts. However, the school struggles to match the state's math proficiency levels. The school's performance for specific student subgroups, such as African American, Hispanic, and low socioeconomic status students, is a bright spot, suggesting the school is effectively serving these populations. Compared to nearby schools like Pinnacle Academy High School (0 stars) and Plainfield High School (0-1 stars), Plainfield Academy For The Arts & Advanced Studies generally ranks higher, but it falls short of the 4-star rating of Watchung Hills Regional High School.

The school's fluctuating graduation and dropout rates, as well as its high chronic absenteeism, indicate potential areas for improvement. Addressing these issues could help the school achieve more consistent and stronger overall performance. Plainfield Academy For The Arts & Advanced Studies seems to have a more favorable student-teacher ratio and per-student spending compared to nearby schools, which may contribute to its relatively stronger academic outcomes within the district. The school's focus on the arts and advanced studies may be a unique selling point and draw for families in the area, and leveraging this focus could be a way to further differentiate the school and attract more 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.
