Summary

Schuyler Elementary School is a public elementary school in Kearny, New Jersey, serving 441 students in grades PK-6. The school consistently outperforms the Kearny School District and the state of New Jersey in standardized test scores, particularly in English Language Arts. Schuyler's performance is especially strong among Hispanic students and English Language Learners, ranking in the top 400 out of over 1,000 New Jersey elementary schools for these subgroups.

Compared to other nearby schools in the Kearny district, such as Garfield Elementary and Franklin Elementary, Schuyler stands out with higher test scores and lower chronic absenteeism rates. This success is noteworthy, as Schuyler spends less per student ($6,903 in 2018-2019) than these other schools, suggesting the school may have effective strategies and practices in place.

Schuyler Elementary's low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 9.9 to 11.0 over the past few years, may also contribute to its strong academic performance. Overall, Schuyler appears to be a high-performing elementary school within the Kearny district, with particular strengths in student achievement, subgroup performance, and attendance, despite serving a population with a higher socioeconomic need.
