In contrast, other schools like James J. Ferris High School and Frank R Conwell School have lower proficiency rates and higher chronic absenteeism. This wide range in performance suggests opportunities to learn from the top-performing schools and address the challenges faced by the lower-performing ones.
The data also reveals significant variation in resource allocation, with per-student spending ranging from $6,621 at Cornelia F. Bradford School to $14,071 at James J. Ferris High School, and student-teacher ratios varying from 10.2 to 24.2. These differences in inputs may be contributing factors to the disparities in student outcomes across the schools in the Jersey City Public Schools district and the BelovED Community Charter and Hudson County Schools of Technology School District.
