Summary

Ecole Toussaint Louverture is an elementary school in East Orange, New Jersey, serving 262 students from pre-kindergarten to 5th grade. The school is part of the East Orange School District, which is ranked 509 out of 609 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Ecole Toussaint Louverture consistently ranks in the bottom 20% of New Jersey elementary schools, with significantly below-average performance on the NJSLA assessments across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2024-2025, only 32.4% of 3rd graders were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 44.9% statewide and 32% in the East Orange School District. The school's performance for specific student subgroups, such as African American students, special education students, and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, is also significantly below state and district averages.

Ecole Toussaint Louverture's struggles are further highlighted by its high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 14.9% to 32.0% over the past few years, and its high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 52.57% to 70.23%. In comparison, nearby schools like Cicely L. Tyson Community Elementary School, Benjamin Banneker Academy, and Langston Hughes Elementary School all have higher academic performance, lower chronic absenteeism, and lower percentages of economically disadvantaged students. The data suggests that Ecole Toussaint Louverture could benefit from targeted interventions and support to address the academic, attendance, and socioeconomic needs of its students.
