Summary

Achievers Early College Prep Charter School is a public charter middle school located in Trenton, New Jersey, serving grades 6-11 with a total enrollment of 443 students. The school is part of the Achievers Early College Prep Charter School District, which is ranked 435 out of 609 districts in New Jersey and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Academically, Achievers Early College Prep Charter School has consistently underperformed compared to the state average in both English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics proficiency across all grade levels. However, the school's performance is generally better than the nearby Trenton Public School District middle schools, which are among the lowest-performing in the state. The school's performance for subgroups, particularly Hispanic students and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, suggests that the school may be providing additional support and resources to these students.

Areas of concern for Achievers Early College Prep Charter School include fluctuating chronic absenteeism rates and a relatively high student-teacher ratio, which may need to be addressed to improve overall student outcomes. The school's focus on providing an "early college" preparatory curriculum for grades 6-11 is an interesting approach, but the academic performance data suggests that the school may need to strengthen its instructional practices and support systems to better prepare students for college-level work.
