Summary:
The Stratford School District has only one elementary school, Parkview Elementary School, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. The school's performance has been declining in recent years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 549th out of 1,342 New Jersey elementary schools in 2022-2023 to 878th out of 1,347 in 2024-2025. Additionally, the school's performance rating has decreased from 3 out of 5 SchoolDigger stars to 2 out of 5 stars during this time period.
Academically, Parkview Elementary School's 3rd-grade students have consistently performed below the state average in both English Language Arts and Mathematics over the past two school years. The school also faces challenges related to its student population, with a relatively high free and reduced-price lunch rate of 24.79% and a chronic absenteeism rate of 14.9% for the 2023-2024 school year, both of which are higher than the state averages. Despite these challenges, the school has a relatively low student-to-teacher ratio of 11:1, suggesting a focus on smaller class sizes.
Overall, the data indicates that Stratford School District's sole elementary school, Parkview Elementary School, is facing performance and academic proficiency issues, as well as potential socioeconomic challenges within its student population. These insights could inform the district's efforts to support and improve the quality of education at the school.
