Jersey City Community Charter School


Summary:

Jersey City Community Charter School is the sole elementary school serving grades K-8 in the Jersey City area, with 587 students enrolled. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom quarter of New Jersey elementary schools over the past 3 years, indicating below-average performance. With a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch and relatively low per-student spending, the school may be facing resource challenges that could be impacting its ability to provide a high-quality education.

The Jersey City Community Charter School has a 1 out of 5 star rating from SchoolDigger, and its students consistently score below the state average on the NJSLA standardized tests. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's English Language Arts proficiency rates ranged from 29.5% to 45.5%, compared to the state average of 43.6% to 53.9%, and its Mathematics proficiency rates ranged from 6.6% to 32.8%, compared to the state average of 19.4% to 47.6%.

While the school's high poverty levels and resource constraints may be contributing factors to its low academic performance, further investigation into the school's funding, staffing, and other resources would be necessary to fully understand the challenges it faces. Addressing these issues could be crucial for improving student outcomes at the Jersey City Community Charter School.
