People's Achieve Community Charter School

Located at 534 Clinton Avenue in Newark, New Jersey, People’s Achieve Community Charter School is an active, single-school independent charter district serving a diverse student body from kindergarten through 12th grade. Set within a dynamic large-city environment in the broader New York-Newark-Jersey City metropolitan area, the district provides a seamless K–12 educational pathway under a single administrative umbrella. Currently educating 800 students—comprising 410 male and 390 female learners—the school balances early childhood foundational learning with rigorous middle and high school programming, culminating in a senior class preparing for post-secondary opportunities.

To support its student population, which primarily includes Black and Hispanic scholars alongside multiracial and other minority student groups, the district invests heavily in classroom and operational resources. The instructional model is anchored by 52 full-time equivalent teachers, yielding an attentive student-to-teacher ratio of roughly 15 to 1. This core faculty is reinforced by a robust support network that includes nearly 80 instructional aides and over 109 non-instructional support staff, bringing the district's total workforce to more than 241 full-time equivalent positions.
