Summary

Joseph H. Brensinger School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-8 in Jersey City, New Jersey, with 987 students. The school is part of the Jersey City Public Schools district, which is ranked 455 out of 609 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Academically, Joseph H. Brensinger School consistently performs below the Jersey City Public Schools district and the state of New Jersey averages on standardized tests, with proficiency rates ranging from 10.3% to 70.6% across different grade levels and subjects, compared to 9.2% to 66.6% for the district and 20.7% to 72.7% for the state. The school also has high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 14.9% to 25.6% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state average. Additionally, the school's performance varies greatly across different student subgroups, with rankings ranging from 285 out of 330 NJ elementary schools for Asian students to 745 out of 1,032 schools for Hispanic students.

The academic challenges faced by Joseph H. Brensinger School are not unique, as nearby schools in the same district, such as Ollie Culbreth Junior School, Martin Luther King Junior School, and Chaplain Charles Watters School, also perform significantly below the state averages on standardized tests. However, nearby Dr Lena Edwards Academic Charter School and Learning Community Charter School generally outperform Joseph H. Brensinger School and the Jersey City Public Schools district on academic measures, suggesting that the charter school model may be providing more effective educational opportunities for students in the area.
