Oaklyn Public School District

The Oaklyn Public School District has one listed school, an elementary school serving pre-K through grade 5, with 273 students. Its latest results show strong fifth-grade performance, but the picture differs considerably by grade and subject. The most important finding is the contrast between fifth grade’s results above the state in both ELA and math and third- and fourth-grade math results below the state.

There are no other listed schools to compare; within Oaklyn Public School, fifth grade stands out most. In 2025–2026, 77% of fifth graders were proficient in ELA, compared with 52% statewide—a 26-point advantage. Fifth-grade math was 68% proficient versus 46% statewide, a 22-point advantage, and fifth-grade science was 32% versus 27%, a 5-point advantage. The clearest shortfalls were in math: 38% of third graders were proficient versus 49% statewide, and 35% of fourth graders versus 47% statewide, gaps of about 12 points in each grade. Fourth-grade ELA was close to the state result: 48% versus 46%.

Results improved overall across the two reported years, though not in every grade. Oaklyn’s equal-weight average across grades 3–5 in ELA and math rose from 43% in 2024–2025 to 52% in 2025–2026, a 9-point increase; the comparable state average went from 49% to 48%. Math proficiency rose in all three grades, while fourth-grade ELA fell by 9 points, from 56% to 48%. SchoolDigger ranked the school 614 of 1,331 schools (54th percentile) in 2025–2026, up from 757 of 1,347 (44th percentile) the prior year. For context, the school reported a 9.5:1 student-teacher ratio and 30% free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–2025; chronic absenteeism was 9%, compared with 14% statewide. Only one school and two years of scores are available, so these figures do not establish a longer-term trend or allow school-to-school comparisons.
