Summary:
The 07514 zip code in Paterson, New Jersey is home to 5 schools, including 3 elementary schools and 2 high schools, all part of the Paterson Public School District. This district is ranked 572 out of 613 in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating significant challenges across the schools in this area.
However, one standout school in the area is School 1, an elementary school that consistently outperforms the district and state on standardized test scores. In the 2023-2024 school year, School 1 had over 50% of 4th and 5th graders scoring proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to district averages below 22%. In math, School 1 also had significantly higher proficiency rates than the district. Additionally, School 1 has a relatively low chronic absenteeism rate and a strong student-teacher ratio, both better than the district averages.
Across the other 4 schools in the 07514 zip code, there are concerning trends, including high chronic absenteeism rates, low standardized test scores, and high rates of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. However, the two high schools, Paterson STEAM High School and Rosa L. Parks School of Fine and Performing Arts, have relatively high graduation rates and low dropout rates, suggesting they are providing valuable educational opportunities despite the broader challenges facing the Paterson Public School District.
