Middle Schools in Stratford School District

The Stratford School District has only one middle school, Samuel S. Yellin Elementary School, which serves students in grades 5-8. The school has consistently ranked in the middle range of New Jersey middle schools, with mixed performance on state assessments. While the school excels in Algebra I, it struggles in other subject areas, particularly mathematics, suggesting a need to examine the school's curriculum and instructional practices.

Samuel S. Yellin Elementary School has a student population of 523 and a relatively high rate of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch at 31.55%. The school spends $12,787 per student, which is above the state average, and has a student-teacher ratio of 10.5, indicating a relatively low class size. However, the school faces challenges with a chronic absenteeism rate of 14.9%, which may be impacting student learning and achievement.

When compared to the Stratford School District and the state of New Jersey, Samuel S. Yellin Elementary School's performance is often on par with or slightly above the district, but below the state average in many areas. This suggests a need to understand the factors contributing to the school's performance relative to the broader state context and to implement strategies to address the identified areas of concern.
