Summary

Ann Street School is an elementary school serving 1,236 students in grades K-8 in the Newark Public School District in New Jersey. While the school has a long history and consistently outperforms the district average on state assessments, particularly in English Language Arts, its overall performance has been relatively low, with a 2 out of 5 star rating from SchoolDigger for the past several years.

One of the school's key strengths is its exceptional performance for certain student subgroups. Hispanic students and English Language Learners at Ann Street consistently rank in the top 30-40% of New Jersey elementary schools in ELA and Math. The school also stands out for its impressive Algebra I performance, with 87.1% of 8th graders proficient or better in 2024-2025, far exceeding the district (69.7%) and state (72.7%) averages. However, the school struggles with White student performance, ranking in the bottom 30% of the state.

Compared to nearby schools in the same district, Quitman Street School and East Ward Elementary, Ann Street School generally outperforms on state assessments, particularly in ELA. But it lags behind the high-performing Gray Charter School, which is located just 0.86 miles away and serves a more advantaged student population. Despite these bright spots, Ann Street School's ranking among New Jersey elementary schools has steadily declined over the past decade, suggesting the school may be facing challenges in maintaining and improving student outcomes.
