Summary

Samuel S. Yellin Elementary School serves 527 students in grades 4–8 in Stratford, New Jersey. Its achievement picture is uneven: ELA is comparatively solid, and Algebra I results are strong, but the clearest concern is regular mathematics in grades 6–8. In 2025–2026, the school’s average proficiency across those grades was 17% in math, compared with 33% at nearby schools; grade 8 proficiency was just 9%. The most important finding is that upper-grade regular math is a marked weakness, despite stronger results in other areas.

ELA is a relative strength locally: the grades 6–8 average was 53%, compared with 51% at nearby schools, and grade 8 ELA was 3 percentage points above the state. Math was below the state in each of grades 6–8: Yellin scored 23%, 21% and 9%, while state results were 40%, 38% and 23%. Algebra I offers a different result: 78% were proficient, 38 percentage points above the state, but 4 points below the nearby-school average. SchoolDigger places Yellin at the 41st percentile, with 2 stars; the Stratford School District is at the 50th percentile, with 3 stars.

Over time, ELA’s grades 4–8 average fell from 56% in 2022–2023 to 51% in 2025–2026, while math rose from 28% to 31%; the math gap with the state widened by 2 percentage points. Science results improved in grades 5 and 8, though they remain below state results. SchoolDigger’s overall percentile has generally fallen from 72 in 2015–2016, with a small recent rise from 39 in 2024–2025 to 41. The latest student-teacher ratio is 10.8, below the nearby average of 11.5; free/reduced lunch eligible students made up 33% in 2024–2025, compared with 44% at nearby schools. SchoolDigger’s rankings for how well the school serves Special Education Students and Low Socio Economic Status Students were each at the 45th percentile in 2025–2026; those rankings rose from the 28th and 27th percentiles, respectively, in the earlier reported years.
