Academically, Oak Valley Elementary School's performance, as measured by NJSLA test scores, is consistently below the state and district averages across all grade levels and subjects. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 31% of 3rd graders were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 44.9% statewide and 30.2% in the Deptford Township district.
