Summary

James F. Murray School is an elementary school serving grades PK-8 in Jersey City Public Schools, a district ranked 455 out of 609 in New Jersey. With 650 students, the school consistently ranks in the bottom half of New Jersey elementary schools, performing below the district and state averages on standardized assessments.

The school's academic performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with African American and Hispanic students performing relatively better than Asian and White students. English Language Learners and Special Education students also struggle, ranking in the bottom 30-40% of their statewide subgroups. Additionally, the school faces high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 14.9% to 25.6%, which are significantly higher than the state average.

Socioeconomic factors also play a role, as the school has a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 56.89% to 67.54%. The school's per-student spending of $10,598 in 2018-2019 is lower than the state average, and its student-teacher ratio of 13-16.4 students per teacher is higher. Addressing these challenges through targeted interventions, additional resources, and a focus on equity and inclusion will be crucial for improving the school's overall outcomes and providing a high-quality education for all its students.
