Summary:

Richard Stockton Elementary School is a high-performing public elementary school in Cherry Hill, New Jersey, serving 353 students from kindergarten to 5th grade. The school consistently ranks among the top elementary schools in the state, receiving a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger and outperforming both district and state averages on standardized tests.

Richard Stockton's academic excellence is particularly evident in its students' performance on the NJSLA (New Jersey Student Learning Assessment) exams. In 2023-2024, 82.1% of 3rd-grade students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 63.1% in the district and 43.6% statewide. The school's strength is even more pronounced in Mathematics, with 80.6% of 3rd-graders and 72.2% of 4th-graders scoring proficient or better, surpassing the district's performance by a significant margin.

While the school's diverse student population, with 13.9% Asian and 16.1% Hispanic students, is a notable feature, the school's strong academic performance is not limited to any particular subgroup. In fact, the school's Asian and Hispanic students rank among the top in the state, suggesting that the school is effectively addressing the needs of its diverse learners. Additionally, the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio of 13:1 and higher per-student spending compared to nearby schools in the Cherry Hill School District may contribute to its academic success.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
