Summary

Warren E. Sooy Junior Elementary School in Hammonton, New Jersey, serves grades 2–5 and enrolls 696 students, more than any of the nearby schools listed, which enroll 221–472 students. Its 2025–2026 results were mixed: average math proficiency was about level with the state, but ELA and science were below it. The clearest concern is fourth-grade ELA: 38% of students were proficient, 8 percentage points below the state and tied for the lowest result among nearby schools reporting scores.

Third grade is a relative strength: Sooy was above the state in both ELA (50% versus 48%) and math (52% versus 49%). Fifth-grade math was also above the state and the highest among nearby schools with results: Sooy had 49%, compared with 44% at Waterford Elementary School and 33% at Folsom Elementary School. By contrast, fifth-grade ELA was 47% versus 52% statewide, and fifth-grade science was 22% versus 27%. For the reported subject-and-grade results, Sooy’s figures exactly match those of the Hammonton School District.

Results have shifted over time: fifth-grade science rose from 14% in 2022–2023 to 22% in 2025–2026, while fourth-grade math fell from 52% to 41%. Across grades 3–5, average ELA proficiency declined from 47% to 45%, and its gap below the state widened from 2 to 4 points. SchoolDigger’s statewide percentile rose from 36 in 2024–2025 to 45 in 2025–2026; the school had two stars. Its student-teacher ratio was 9.9 in 2024–2025, and 44% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that year, near the middle of nearby schools’ rates. SchoolDigger’s ranking for how well Sooy serves Hispanic students was at the 27th percentile in 2025–2026, below its overall 45th percentile. Its English Language Learner Students ranking also fell, from the 51st percentile in 2023–2024 to the 35th in 2025–2026.
