Summary

Clyde S. Jennings Elementary School is a public elementary school in Oaklyn, New Jersey, serving 124 students in grades K-5 as part of the Haddon Township School District. While the district is ranked 182 out of 609 in New Jersey and has a 4-star rating, Clyde S. Jennings Elementary School faces several challenges, including lower test scores, higher chronic absenteeism, and uneven performance across student subgroups.

The school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics are lower than the district and state averages across all grade levels. Additionally, Clyde S. Jennings Elementary School has experienced higher rates of chronic absenteeism, with a rate of 14.9% in the 2023-2024 school year, significantly higher than the state's target of 10%. The school's performance also varies across different student subgroups, with male students performing relatively well but female and white students struggling compared to their peers in other New Jersey elementary schools.

When compared to nearby schools, Clyde S. Jennings Elementary School generally underperforms. For example, the nearby Van Sciver Elementary School, which is also part of the Haddon Township School District, has consistently higher test scores and a higher statewide ranking than Clyde S. Jennings. The school's declining statewide ranking, from a high of 227 out of 1,317 New Jersey elementary schools in the 2020-2021 school year to 618 out of 1,347 schools in the 2024-2025 school year, suggests a potential trend of declining performance compared to other schools in the state.
