Oaklyn Public School District

The Oaklyn Public School District in New Jersey consists of a single elementary school, Oaklyn Public School, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 280 students. While the school has some academic strengths, such as above-average English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency rates, it faces challenges in mathematics performance and higher-than-average chronic absenteeism.

Academically, Oaklyn Public School ranks in the bottom half of New Jersey elementary schools and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. Its ELA proficiency rates are above the state average, but its mathematics proficiency rates, particularly in 5th grade, are significantly below the state average. The school's 5th-grade science proficiency rate is also slightly below the state average. These academic performance issues may be exacerbated by the school's higher-than-average chronic absenteeism rate of 16.5%.

Despite spending more per student than the state average, Oaklyn Public School faces additional challenges due to the relatively high percentage of students (30.36%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage. However, the school's low student-teacher ratio of 9.6 could be a strength, potentially providing more individualized attention and support for students.
