Summary

Aura Elementary School serves 350 students in pre-K through grade 6 in Glassboro, as part of the Elk Township School District. Its clearest academic challenge is math in grades 3–4: in 2025–2026, proficiency was 24% in grade 3 and 28% in grade 4, compared with 50% and 47% statewide. Stronger scores in grades 5–6 lift the school’s average, but the lower-grade math results are the most important concern for families to note.

Aura has notable strengths in older-grade results, especially grade 6 ELA: 73% were proficient, 22 points above the state’s 51% and higher than nearby Pitman Elementary School and Upper Pittsgrove School. Grade 6 math was also above the state, at 56% versus 40%. Across grades 3–6, however, math averaged 40%, 6 points below the state; for grades 3–5, Aura’s 34% average was below the nearby-school average of 50%. ELA averaged 54%, 5 points above the state, though that advantage is concentrated in older grades. Grade 5 science was 31%, 4 points above the state and above the nearby-school average of 27%.

Results have improved in some areas but remain mixed: since 2022–2023, ELA rose from 48% to 54% and its gap versus the state improved by 6 points, while math rose from 38% to 40% but its state gap worsened by 3 points. Science is above the state but down from 41% in 2023–2024 to 31% in 2025–2026. Chronic absenteeism fell from 17% in 2022–2023 to 13% in 2024–2025, matching the district and sitting 2 points below the state. SchoolDigger rates Aura 3 stars and places it at the 51st percentile statewide in 2025–2026; it ranks fourth among six nearby schools with current rankings. Its 2024–2025 student–teacher ratio was 9.4, the lowest among nearby schools with reported figures, and 30% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible. SchoolDigger’s group rankings also show a sharp contrast: in 2024–2025, Aura ranked at the 94th percentile for serving African American students, while its Low Socio Economic Status Students ranking fell to the 33rd percentile in 2025–2026, below its overall 51st percentile.
