Fall enrollment was 461 students in 2021-22 and 450 students in 2022-23 — 11 fewer students.
See enrollment evidence →The chronic-absence rate was 29.0% in 2017-18 and 18.5% in 2022-23 — 10.5 percentage points lower.

In its last year on record, 2022-23, it enrolled 450 students across grades K–8. That is 389 more than in 2017-18 (61) — the school had grown. Its biggest cohort is grade 3.
Students enrolled in each grade each fall, stacked to the total — so the top edge is total enrollment. Bands run from the lowest grade (light) to the highest (dark); a band that appears or disappears is a grade the school added or dropped. “Other” is students with no grade level (mostly special education), so the bands always sum to total.

The largest group in both 2017-18 and 2022-23 was Black students — 79% then, 83% now.

Between 2018-19 and 2022-23 the makeup of this school shifted noticeably.

In 2022-23, 77.8% of students were certified for free or reduced-price lunch.
Share of students certified for free or reduced-price meals, through a household application or an automatic match. The lighter line shows the district overall, for comparison. Some districts serve free meals to every student under the Community Eligibility Provision. Those districts often stop collecting household income forms, so their reported share can run below the number of low-income students they enroll. Source: NJDOE Fall Enrollment.
In 2022-23, 18.5% of students were chronically absent — missing at least 10% of school days — down from 29% in 2017-18.
† New Jersey says these years are not comparable with the ones beside them
The requirement to report status in meeting annual ESSA targets for 2020-2021 was waived. As a result, NJDOE will not report state averages and whether state averages were met for 2020-2021. Additionally, because the number of days students spent in in-person and remote learning environments during the school year differed, the NJDOE recommends caution in comparing 2020-2021 attendance data between schools and districts and to prior or future school years.NJDOE 2020-21 workbook notes sheet.
2019-20 is blank because New Jersey collected no attendance data that year, not because nobody was absent. The requirement to report on chronic absenteeism and related accountability measures for the 2019-2020 school year was waived. As a result, NJDOE will not report on chronic absenteeism and other attendance data for 2019-2020. Tables showing attendance data will be hidden in the 2019-2020 reports.

Chronic absenteeism — the share of students who missed 10% or more of the days they were enrolled (roughly 18 days across a full school year). Points from 2018-19 and earlier are matched to this school by its state code; New Jersey’s organization record only reaches back to 2020-08-11, so for those years the code is verified and the identity behind it is not.

2018-19 – 2022-23 · the ESSA record
New Jersey has published a summative rating for Achieve Community Charter School in three school years under ESSA. The rating is a percentile inside a group of schools NJDOE considers comparable — where the school placed among them, not a score and not a grade.
NJDOE weighted the indicators the same way for elementary and middle schools in every one of these editions, 2018-19 to 2022-23, so these three ratings may be read as one line.
Higher is further up: the line is the share of similar New Jersey schools this school placed above, in each year NJDOE ranked it. The axis runs the full 0 to 100 because a percentile’s whole range is real. This is a position, not a level. Every number NJDOE puts into the rating is itself a ranking against that year’s other schools — each indicator score is a percentile before it is weighted — so a year in which every school in the state improved would look exactly like a year in which none did. What the line can show is where this school sat among its contemporaries; what it cannot show is whether the contemporaries moved. The summative score behind each point is in the table below. Where the line stops and starts again, the state changed the calculation and the two stretches are not comparable; where the panel is shaded, nothing was calculated at all.
The long numbers are NJDOE’s own. It rounded the summative score in the 2016-17 preliminary edition, stopped rounding for the 2016-17 final through 2018-19, and rounded again from 2021-22 on. This page prints what each edition printed and shortens nothing.

2019-20 and 2020-21 · nothing was calculated
These are not years missing from this record. The federal government waived New Jersey’s ESSA accountability requirements for both of them, and no summative rating exists for any school in the state. In NJDOE’s own words:
due to the COVID-19 pandemic, New Jersey was approved for both a March 2020 waiver and a March 2021 waiver that removed accountability-related requirements under ESSA for the 2019-2020 and 2020-2021 school years, respectively. The waived requirements included the: Calculation of indicator scores and summative scores; Measurement of progress toward long-term goals and measures of interim progress for accountability indicators; and Identification of schools for comprehensive and targeted support and improvement based on data from these two school years.
