The two schools in 08084 are in Stratford School District and together serve prekindergarten through grade 8: Parkview Elementary School serves PK–3, and Samuel S. Yellin Elementary School serves grades 4–8. Since their reported tested grades do not overlap, their scores do not support a direct school-to-school ranking.
