Summary

Oak Knoll Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 637 students in grades PK-4 in Williamstown, New Jersey, which is part of the Monroe Township Public School District. While the district is ranked 374 out of 609 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger, Oak Knoll Elementary faces several challenges, including lower academic performance, high chronic absenteeism, and a growing population of economically disadvantaged students.

Oak Knoll Elementary's academic performance, as measured by NJSLA test scores, is generally below the district and state averages. For example, in 2024-2025, only 38.2% of 3rd graders were proficient or better in ELA, compared to 40.8% for the district and 44.9% statewide. Similarly, 4th grade math proficiency was 44%, compared to 50.2% for the district and 46.7% statewide. The school has also struggled with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 10.6% to 18% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state average. Additionally, the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at Oak Knoll Elementary has been increasing, from 22.81% in 2021-2022 to 28.89% in 2023-2024, suggesting a growing population of economically disadvantaged students.

Compared to other elementary schools in the Monroe Township district, Oak Knoll Elementary lags behind in many key metrics. For example, Radix Elementary ranked 566 out of 1,347 NJ elementary schools in 2024-2025, compared to 722 for Oak Knoll. Additionally, Oak Knoll Elementary's per-student spending of $5,139 in 2018-2019 was lower than the nearby schools in the district, which ranged from $5,194 to $6,850 per student. The school also has a higher student-teacher ratio (11.2) compared to the other Monroe Township schools (9.2 to 10.2), which may contribute to its lower academic performance.
