Summary:
Zip code 08104 has three elementary schools in Henry B. Wilson Family School (K–8), Riletta Twyne Cream Early Childhood Center (PK–3), and Yorkship Elementary School (PK–8), all part of Camden City School District. In 2025–2026, across the same ten school-grade comparisons, average proficiency was 13% in English Language Arts (ELA) versus 50% statewide, and 4% in math versus 43% statewide. The central finding for families is that proficiency is substantially below state results in both subjects, even when a school leads the local comparison.
Yorkship stands out in ELA, leading Wilson in five of the six grades they share; its biggest lead was 7 points in grade 6, with 13% proficient compared with 6% at Wilson. Wilson led grade 4 ELA by 5 points, with 8% versus 3%. There is no single math leader: in third grade, Cream had the highest result at 16%, compared with 9% at Yorkship and 3% at Wilson; in older shared grades, leadership is split between Yorkship and Wilson. Yorkship also led local science results in grades 5 and 8, but its 6% in grade 5 and 5% in grade 8 were below state results of 27% and 19%.
Matched results show no broad improvement toward state proficiency: average ELA proficiency fell from 15% to 13% between 2024–2025 and 2025–2026, while math fell from 7% to 4%; the average math gap widened from 36 to 39 points, while the ELA gap remained about 37 points. SchoolDigger ranked Wilson in the 1st percentile statewide in 2025–2026, and Cream and Yorkship in the 2nd percentile. Student–teacher ratios ranged from 7.8 at Yorkship to 10.4 at Cream; the reported free/reduced lunch eligible shares for 2024–2025 were 57% at Yorkship, 67% at Wilson, and 74% at Cream, useful context but not an explanation of results. Cream’s test results cover only third grade, and Yorkship’s eighth-grade math result was suppressed by the state.
