Stratford School District

The Stratford School District in New Jersey operates two elementary schools - Samuel S. Yellin Elementary School and Parkview Elementary School. While the district as a whole is ranked 446th out of 609 districts in the state, the individual schools demonstrate varying levels of academic performance and resource allocation.

Samuel S. Yellin Elementary School stands out as a high-performing institution, ranking 376th out of 748 New Jersey middle schools and earning a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school consistently outperforms the state average in English Language Arts proficiency and excels in Algebra I, with 89.5% of students scoring proficient or better on the end-of-course exam. This academic success may be attributed to the school's higher spending per student ($12,787) and lower student-teacher ratio (10.5) compared to Parkview Elementary School.

In contrast, Parkview Elementary School ranks 549th out of 1,342 New Jersey elementary schools and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. While the school maintains a relatively high 3rd-grade mathematics proficiency rate of 45.8%, it spends less per student ($10,763) and has a higher student-teacher ratio (11) than Samuel S. Yellin Elementary School. Both schools, however, share a similar challenge with a chronic absenteeism rate of 14.9%, which is an area the Stratford School District may need to address.
