Summary:
The 07505 zip code area of Paterson, New Jersey is home to 3 schools - 2 elementary schools (Norman S. Weir and Brilla New Jersey Charter School) and 1 high school (Paterson P-Technical High School). These schools serve a high-need population, with very high rates of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.
Norman S. Weir Elementary School stands out with relatively strong academic performance, particularly in English Language Arts, compared to the Paterson Public School District and state averages. However, the school's math performance is more mixed. In contrast, Paterson P-Technical High School has shown improvement in its state ranking over the past few years, despite its academic performance lagging behind the district average in some areas.
Across all three schools, chronic absenteeism rates are high, at 14.9%, which is on par with the district average. This, combined with the high-need populations served by these schools, likely contributes to the academic challenges they face. While some schools are performing better than others, addressing these systemic issues will be crucial for improving educational outcomes in this community.
