Summary:
The Stratford School District in New Jersey has only one middle school, Samuel S. Yellin Elementary School, which serves students in grades 5-8. While the school has some positive metrics, such as a relatively low chronic absenteeism rate and strong performance on Algebra I assessments, it also faces several areas of concern that suggest the need for targeted interventions and support.
Samuel S. Yellin Elementary School's overall state-wide ranking has declined over the past three years, dropping from 334th out of 745 New Jersey middle schools in 2021-2022 to 424th out of 743 in 2023-2024. The school's performance on NJSLA English Language Arts and Mathematics assessments is generally below the state average, with several grade levels scoring significantly lower. Additionally, the school's science proficiency rates are very low, with only 8.7% of 5th graders and 9.9% of 8th graders scoring proficient or better on the NJSLA-S Science assessment.
The school also faces socioeconomic challenges, with a relatively high percentage of students (30.57%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a higher-than-average level of economic disadvantage among the student population. These factors may contribute to the school's academic performance and resource needs, and suggest that the Stratford School District may need to provide additional support and interventions to help improve student outcomes at Samuel S. Yellin Elementary School.
