Summary

Clementon Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-8 in Clementon, New Jersey, with 596 students. The school is part of the Clementon Elementary School District, which is ranked 342 out of 609 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Clementon Elementary School has consistently performed below the state average in both English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics proficiency across all grade levels. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's 3rd grade ELA proficiency was 41% compared to the state average of 44.9%, and its 8th grade Math proficiency was only 4.5% compared to the state average of 20.7%. The school has also struggled with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 14.9% to 20.9% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state average. Additionally, the school has a very high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 56.36% to 70.97% over the past few years, indicating a high concentration of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds.

While the school's African American students perform exceptionally well, ranking in the top 25% of New Jersey elementary schools in this category, its English Language Learner (ELL) and Special Education students perform very poorly, ranking in the bottom 10% and bottom 25% of New Jersey elementary schools, respectively. Several of the nearby schools, such as Lindenwold School Four, Lindenwold School Five, and Dr. Albert M. Bean School, also have very low academic performance and high rates of poverty, suggesting that Clementon Elementary School may be part of a broader educational challenge in the local area.
