Summary

Chairville Elementary School in Medford, NJ, serves pre-K through grade 5 and enrolls 439 students, making it the third-largest of the 11 nearby schools listed. Its 2025–26 test results were above the state in five of seven reported grade-and-subject comparisons, but below its district in five of seven. The most important takeaway is that results vary sharply by grade: fourth grade is a standout, while third grade and fifth-grade science need attention.

Fourth grade is the school’s clearest strength: 64% were proficient in ELA and 71% in math, above state results of 46% and 47% and district results of 57% and 59%. Its math result led the five Medford elementary schools, and its ELA result was second. By contrast, third-grade ELA and math were both 49%, below the Medford Township School District by 16 and 18 points and below the other four Medford schools’ averages by 21 and 24 points. Across grades 3–5, Chairville averaged 57% in ELA and 62% in math, compared with 65% and 66% at those other schools. Fifth-grade science was 32%—above the state’s 27%, but below the district’s 38% and nearby schools’ 41% average.

Scores and SchoolDigger’s rating have fallen in recent years, even though the latest subject averages remain above the state. From 2022–23 to 2025–26, Chairville’s ELA average dropped from 66% to 57%, math from 75% to 62%, and fifth-grade science from 59% to 32%; its state advantage narrowed in all three subjects. SchoolDigger rated the school at the 66th percentile with 3 stars in 2025–26, down from the 82nd percentile and 4 stars the year before. Its statewide ranking for special education students, a measure of how well it serves that group relative to schools statewide, fell from the 83rd to the 59th percentile. Context figures are near the local middle: the 2024–25 student-teacher ratio was 11.3, and 11% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–25.

What people are saying

by a parent
Sunday, January 27, 2019

This school is not the best. I found the parents and the kids and most of the teachers rude. The first grade teacher is so stern and impatient my daughter feared going to school. The education is less than par with 68 of 100 kids being proficient in math and when we took our children out their new school was leap years ahead in another state. I found this school very small minded and just Blah and cold. Marlton and 100 percent Medford is going down hill as more people flee. Sad they were nice areas back in the day. Close Quote
