The school is part of the Deptford Township Public School District, which is ranked 456 out of 609 districts in New Jersey and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Shady Lane Elementary School consistently underperforms compared to the district and state in standardized test scores, with proficiency rates in NJSLA English Language Arts and Mathematics significantly lower than the averages across all grade levels. The school's performance also varies significantly across different student subgroups, with the school ranking relatively high for African American and English Language Learner students, but struggling with Asian, Hispanic, and White student populations. Additionally, Shady Lane Elementary School has consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 11.5% to 16.6% over the past few years, which is higher than the state average.

When compared to other nearby elementary schools in the Deptford Township Public School District, such as West End Memorial Elementary School and Lake Tract Elementary School, Shady Lane Elementary School generally performs worse academically, with lower test scores and rankings. The school's relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 35.5% to 39.47% in recent years, suggests that a significant portion of the student population comes from low-income families, which can impact academic achievement and other educational outcomes.
