Summary:
Benjamin Banneker Preparatory Charter School is the sole elementary school located within the Benjamin Banneker Preparatory Charter School district. This school serves students from grades K-8 and has consistently underperformed compared to state averages across key metrics.
The Benjamin Banneker Preparatory Charter School has ranked in the bottom 20% of New Jersey elementary schools for the past three years, with test scores significantly below state averages in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. The school also has a higher-than-average chronic absenteeism rate and over 50% of its students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage.
While the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 12.3 to 1, its spending per student is below the state average. These factors, combined with the school's persistent low performance, suggest that it may be struggling to provide a high-quality education to its students and address the significant challenges they face. Targeted interventions, additional resources, and a comprehensive review of the school's educational practices may be necessary to help improve student learning and achievement.
