Summary:

The International Charter School is the sole elementary school serving grades K-5 in the International Charter School of Trenton district, which is ranked 520 out of 609 districts in New Jersey and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

The school faces several challenges, including a high chronic absenteeism rate of 14.9%, which is above the state average. The school's performance on the NJSLA assessments is mixed, with 3rd and 4th-grade students performing better than the state average in English Language Arts, but significantly underperforming in 5th-grade ELA, as well as across all grade levels in Mathematics. Additionally, the school has a very high percentage of students (87.96%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

The combination of low academic performance, high poverty levels, and a declining statewide ranking (from 952 out of 1,338 elementary schools in 2023-2024 to 1,014 out of 1,347 in 2024-2025) suggests that the International Charter School may be facing significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to its students. The school and district will need to closely examine the factors contributing to these issues and develop targeted strategies to improve student outcomes, particularly in the areas of English Language Arts and Mathematics.
