Summary

Clara Barton Elementary School is a public elementary school in Cherry Hill, New Jersey, serving 507 students from kindergarten to 5th grade. The school is part of the Cherry Hill School District, which is ranked 236 out of 609 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Clara Barton Elementary maintains a 3-star rating, its student performance on the NJSLA (New Jersey Student Learning Assessment) is generally below the district and state averages, particularly in mathematics. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 47.3% of 3rd-grade students were proficient or better in NJSLA/Mathematics, compared to 61.6% in the Cherry Hill School District and 49.8% statewide. The school's performance is more mixed in English Language Arts, with 4th-grade students outperforming the district and state, but 3rd and 5th-grade students lagging behind.

Another area of concern is Clara Barton's consistently higher chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 13.5% to 17.6% over the past few years, compared to the state average. When compared to other elementary schools in the Cherry Hill School District, such as A. Russell Knight Elementary and Thomas Paine Elementary, Clara Barton generally performs below its peers. However, the school does outperform some nearby schools in other districts, such as Maude M. Wilkins Elementary in the Maple Shade School District.

Teachers are not all bad but some of them should not be there. I would not recommend this school to anyone. Close Quote
