Summary

Strathmore Elementary School in Aberdeen, NJ, enrolls 481 students in pre-K through grade 3 and is surrounded by nearby schools serving a range of grade levels. Its reported test results cover grade 3 only. The clearest takeaway is that Strathmore’s grade 3 results are strong against both state and local comparisons: in 2025–2026, 58% of students were proficient in English Language Arts (ELA) and 54% in math.

Strathmore ranks near the top of nearby schools in both subjects, though it is not the highest. Its ELA proficiency was 10 percentage points above the state, 6 above the Matawan-Aberdeen Regional School District, and 12 above the nearby-school average of 47%; it ranked second among seven nearby schools with results. In math, Strathmore was 5 points above the state, 8 above the district, and 6 above the nearby average of 48%, ranking third. Leroy Gordon Cooper Elementary School led the nearby group in both subjects, and Middle Road School also scored higher in math.

The longer-term picture is mixed: ELA fell 13 points from 71% in 2022–2023, while math rose 1 point from 53%; the latest scores were nearly unchanged from the prior year. Strathmore remains above state results, but its advantage narrowed over those four years. SchoolDigger rated the school at the 62nd percentile with 3 stars in 2025–2026, near the top locally but below nearby Leroy Gordon Cooper’s 70th percentile. SchoolDigger’s statewide effectiveness ranking for Special Education Students was at the 35th percentile, down from 53 the year before and 27 points below Strathmore’s overall percentile. For Low Socio Economic Status Students, the ranking was at the 51st percentile, down from 91 in 2023–2024. These rankings are worth discussing with the school, but do not explain the changes. As context, Strathmore’s student-teacher ratio was 13.8 in 2024–2025, above the nearby average of 12.5; 24% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that year, compared with a nearby average of 33%.
