The school excels in English Language Arts (ELA), with proficiency rates ranging from 37.5% in 3rd grade to an impressive 85.7% in 8th grade, significantly outperforming the state average. However, the school struggles in Mathematics, with proficiency rates well below the state average across most grade levels.

Despite the school's higher-than-average per-student spending and lower student-teacher ratio, indicating adequate resources and funding, Clementon Elementary School is ranked 719 out of 1,342 New Jersey elementary schools and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. This suggests that the resources may not be translating into consistently strong academic outcomes. Additionally, the school's high chronic absenteeism rate of 23.8% is a concern and may be impacting student learning and achievement.
