Summary:
The Oaklyn Public School District in New Jersey consists of a single elementary school, Oaklyn Public School, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. While the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, its academic performance has consistently ranked in the bottom half of New Jersey elementary schools.
Oaklyn Public School's performance on standardized tests is mixed, with proficiency rates ranging from 25% to 63.4% in English Language Arts and 25% to 53.7% in Mathematics, compared to the state averages of 44.9% to 52.7% and 46.7% to 49.8%, respectively. The school's 5th-grade Science proficiency rate of 33.3% is slightly above the state average of 30.1%. However, the school's overall ranking of 757th out of 1,347 New Jersey elementary schools in the 2024-2025 school year suggests that it may be struggling to provide a high-quality education to its students.
The school's relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, at 26.67% in the 2023-2024 school year, suggests that it may be serving a population with greater economic challenges, which could impact academic performance. Despite the school's low student-teacher ratio and higher-than-average per-student spending, these factors alone do not appear to be enough to overcome the school's consistent underperformance compared to state-level averages.
