Summary

Roseville Community Charter School is an elementary school in Newark, New Jersey, serving 286 students from kindergarten to 4th grade. The school is part of the Roseville Community Charter School District, which is ranked 560 out of 609 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Roseville Community Charter School faces significant challenges, including consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 14.9% to 44.8% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the nearby schools. The school's test scores are also consistently lower than the state averages across all grade levels and subjects, with only 37.9% of 3rd graders and 30.5% of 4th graders proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to the state averages of 44.9% and 53.6%, respectively. The school's math proficiency rates are even lower, with only 20.7% of 3rd graders and 22% of 4th graders scoring proficient or better, compared to the state averages of 49.8% and 46.7%.

The issues faced by Roseville Community Charter School appear to be systemic within the broader Newark area, as the nearby schools, such as Mildred Barry Garvin Elementary, Gordon Parks Academy, and Dr. William H. Horton Elementary School, also struggle with low performance, high chronic absenteeism, and high percentages of students from low-income families. This suggests that a comprehensive, district-wide approach may be needed to address the underlying factors contributing to the low academic performance of students in the region.
