Summary:
Englewood on the Palisades Charter School is the sole public charter school serving grades K-8 in the Englewood, New Jersey area. With a student population of 306, the school faces several challenges, including below-average performance on standardized tests, a high chronic absenteeism rate, and a majority (51.31%) of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating significant economic disadvantages among the student body.
The school's performance on the NJSLA (New Jersey Student Learning Assessments) is generally below the state averages across grade levels and subject areas, particularly in mathematics, where proficiency rates are significantly lower than the state's, especially in the upper grades. Additionally, the school's performance has declined over the past few years, with lower proficiency rates in the 2024-2025 school year compared to the 2023-2024 school year.
The school's high chronic absenteeism rate of 14.9% and the economic challenges faced by its student population may be contributing factors to its academic performance issues. With a per-student spending of $11,407 (in the 2018-2019 school year), the school may not have sufficient resources to address the needs of its student population and improve educational outcomes. Addressing these challenges will be crucial for Englewood on the Palisades Charter School to provide a high-quality education to its students.
