Summary:
The Jersey City area list covers one school, Jersey City Global Charter School, a K–8 school with 423 students. Its most important result is that 2025–2026 ELA and math proficiency was above the New Jersey average in every tested grade, while grade 8 science was a notable exception.
With only one school in the list, there is no within-area school leader or laggard; comparisons are with state results. In 2025–2026, the school’s average advantage over the state across reported grades was 25 percentage points in ELA, 20 in math and 10 in science. Grade 7 ELA was its strongest comparison, 35 points above the state. Science results varied sharply by grade: grade 5 was 29 points above the state, while grade 8 was 9 points below it, at 10% proficient compared with 19% statewide.
Recent results were mixed, and the overall averages declined: from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, the school’s ELA average fell 7 points, math fell 2 and science fell 5, narrowing its advantage over the state in all three subjects. Grade 8 was the clearest concern, with results falling 26 points in ELA, 23 in math and 15 in science; by contrast, grade 7 math rose 18 points. SchoolDigger ranked the school 120th of 1,331 statewide schools in 2025–2026, at the 91st percentile, similar to its 91st-percentile ranking the prior year. For context, its 2024–2025 student-teacher ratio was 18.3, and 20% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that year. Because the list contains just one school, it cannot show how these context measures relate to results across schools.
