Summary:
The city of Pedricktown, New Jersey has only one school, the Oldmans Township School, which serves grades PK-8 with a total enrollment of 286 students. The school is part of the Oldmans Township School District, which is ranked 430 out of 609 districts in New Jersey and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.
The Oldmans Township School has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past three years, dropping from 634 out of 1,342 elementary schools in 2022-2023 to 867 out of 1,347 in 2024-2025, with a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. Student proficiency rates on the NJSLA assessments are generally below the state averages, particularly in English Language Arts and Science, though the school's performance in Algebra I is significantly higher than the state average. The school has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (25.17%), indicating a higher proportion of economically disadvantaged students.
Despite the school's below-average academic performance, it appears to have a relatively high level of funding, with per-student spending of $12,139, which is above the state average. The school also has a low student-teacher ratio of 9.8, indicating a relatively small class size. However, these factors alone do not seem to be translating into improved academic outcomes, suggesting that the district may need to examine other aspects of the school's operations and support systems to address the challenges it is facing.
