Summary

International Charter School is an elementary school located in Trenton, New Jersey, serving 108 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the International Charter School of Trenton district, which is ranked 520 out of 609 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite the school's small class sizes and higher-than-average spending per student, International Charter School consistently performs below the state average in academic proficiency across all grade levels and subject areas. In the 2024-2025 school year, the school's 3rd-grade English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency rate was 38.9%, compared to the state average of 44.9%, and its 3rd-grade Math proficiency rate was 33.3%, compared to the state average of 49.8%. The school's performance in Science is also significantly lower than the state average, with only 11.1% of 5th-grade students proficient or better, compared to the state average of 30.1%. Additionally, International Charter School has consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 13.9% to 20.2% in recent years, which is significantly higher than the state average.

Interestingly, the nearby Pace Charter School of Hamilton outperforms the state average in both ELA and Mathematics across all grade levels, suggesting that the charter school model can be effective in improving student outcomes. In contrast, the other nearby schools in the Trenton Public School District, such as Luis Munoz-Rivera Elementary, Franklin Elementary, and Carroll Robbins Elementary, also perform significantly below the state average in academic proficiency, with proficiency rates in the single digits or low teens for both ELA and Mathematics.
