Summary

Rev. Dr. Frank Napier Junior School is an elementary school in Paterson, New Jersey, serving grades 1-8 with a total enrollment of 502 students. The school is part of the Paterson Public School District, which is ranked 561 out of 609 districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite the school's slightly higher spending per student compared to the district average, Rev. Dr. Frank Napier Junior School consistently ranks among the lowest-performing elementary schools in New Jersey, with rankings between 1284 and 1350 out of around 1,350 schools over the past several years. The school's performance on standardized tests is significantly below the state and district averages across all grade levels and subject areas, particularly for certain student subgroups such as African American, Hispanic, English Language Learner, Special Education, and Low Socioeconomic Status students. Additionally, the school has had extremely high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 14.9% to 41.6% in recent years, which is much higher than the state and district averages.

Interestingly, the nearby schools in the Paterson Public School District, such as School 5, School 2, and Alexander Hamilton Academy, generally perform better than Rev. Dr. Frank Napier Junior School on standardized tests and have lower chronic absenteeism rates, despite serving similar student populations. This suggests that factors beyond just student demographics may be contributing to the school's poor academic performance, and the district may need to re-evaluate its strategies to better support the needs of all its students.
