Summary

Public School Number One is an elementary school in West New York, NJ, serving 792 students in grades K-6. The school is part of the West New York School District, which is ranked 472 out of 609 districts in New Jersey and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Public School Number One has consistently underperformed the state and district averages on standardized tests, with proficiency rates 10-20 percentage points below the state average in English Language Arts and Mathematics. The school's performance is particularly weak in Mathematics, with proficiency rates ranging from 21.3% to 41.7% across grade levels, compared to the state average of 39.8% to 49.8%. The school also struggles with Science, with proficiency rates ranging from 7.2% to 22%, well below the state average of 25.6% to 30.1%. Additionally, the school has a high chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 14.9% to 20%, significantly higher than the state average.

While the nearby Public School Number Five and Public School Number Two perform slightly better than Public School Number One, they still lag behind the state averages. Schools outside the district, like Robert Fulton Elementary School and Lincoln Elementary School in North Bergen, tend to outperform Public School Number One across multiple academic indicators. Addressing the school's challenges, particularly in Mathematics and Science, as well as its high chronic absenteeism rate, will be crucial to improving educational outcomes for its students.
