Summary

Union Valley Elementary School is a public elementary school in Sicklerville, New Jersey, serving 505 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Gloucester Township Public Schools district, which is ranked 454 out of 609 districts in the state.

Union Valley Elementary consistently outperforms the district and state averages in standardized test scores, particularly in the 3rd and 4th grades. In the 2024-2025 school year, 54.6% of Union Valley's 3rd-grade students scored proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 35% for the district and 44.9% for the state. In math, 66.3% of Union Valley's 3rd-graders scored proficient or better, compared to 45.6% for the district and 49.8% for the state. The school also stands out in its performance for African American and Hispanic student subgroups, ranking significantly higher than the overall school's performance.

However, Union Valley Elementary has seen a concerning increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 6.9% in 2023-2024 to 16.6% in 2022-2023. When compared to nearby schools like Erial Elementary and James W. Lilley Elementary, Union Valley outperforms them academically. But compared to higher-performing schools in the region, such as Whitman Elementary in the Washington Township School District, Union Valley's performance, while strong, has room for improvement to reach the level of academic excellence demonstrated by the top schools in the area.
