Summary

Chews Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Blackwood, New Jersey, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 714 students. The school is part of the Gloucester Township Public Schools district, which is ranked 454 out of 609 districts in New Jersey and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Chews Elementary School's academic performance is consistently below the state and district averages across all grade levels, particularly in Science, where only 17% of 5th graders were proficient in the 2024-2025 school year, compared to the state average of 30.1%. The school's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with African American and Hispanic students generally performing better than their White peers. However, the school's performance for students with disabilities and those from low socioeconomic backgrounds is still below the state averages. Additionally, Chews Elementary School has consistently higher chronic absenteeism rates compared to the state average, ranging from 12.1% to 16.6% over the past few years.

While Chews Elementary School's performance is generally lower than the nearby Loring Flemming Elementary School and Glendora Elementary School, which are also part of the Gloucester Township Public Schools district, it outperforms some other nearby schools, such as Aline Bingham Elementary School and Lawnside School District. The school's per-student spending and student-teacher ratio are similar to the nearby schools, suggesting that funding and class size may not be the primary drivers of the school's academic performance. The data suggests that Chews Elementary School may need to implement more targeted strategies and interventions to address its consistently low performance, achievement gaps between student subgroups, and high chronic absenteeism rates.
