Summary

Somerdale Park School is an elementary school serving grades PK-8 in the Somerdale School District in New Jersey, with 444 students and a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Somerdale Park School consistently performs above the state average in English Language Arts, its Mathematics and Science proficiency rates are below the state average. However, the school's African American and Hispanic students outperform their peers in the state, and its Algebra I exam results are significantly higher than the state average. The school faces challenges with a concerning increase in chronic absenteeism and a growing population of economically disadvantaged students, with the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch rising from 29.27% in 2021-2022 to 38.74% in 2023-2024.

Compared to nearby schools, Somerdale Park School's performance is generally lower than Osage School and Woodcrest Elementary School, but it outperforms Chews Elementary School, Lawnside School District, and Magnolia in both English Language Arts and Mathematics. The school's spending per student of $12,807 in 2018-2019 is higher than the state average, and its relatively low student-teacher ratio of 9.9 in 2023-2024 may contribute to its ability to support its students.

Friday, March 18, 2016

My experience with Somerdale Park School. Second grader was enrolled. When you walk in the school front entrance, and enter the office , you are not greeted, you are not even looked at. As you walk in, the two front desk staff are behind their desk on their computers. They give you no eye contact unless you walk up close to them. Their facial expression are of a sad lost puppy. They NEVER smile. The school is like walking into a dungeon. I have met with my child teacher, Vice Principle and Principal; The teacher does not challenge the children, instead she expects them to sit in her classroom for 8 hours without any complaints. The vice principal is rude and careless to parents. The Principal is a racist, disrespectful, bully who verbally attacks parents that sit an meet with him over concerns for their children. DO NOT SEND YOUR CHILD HERE!!! There is something evil going on in this school. Close Quote
