Oak Valley Elementary School

Summary:

Oak Valley Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades 1-5 in Wenonah, New Jersey, part of the Deptford Township Public School District. With 368 students, the school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of New Jersey elementary schools over the past decade, currently at 852 out of 1,338 schools.

Academically, Oak Valley Elementary School's performance on NJSLA tests is generally below state and district averages. In the 2023-2024 school year, only 49.3% of 3rd graders, 36.1% of 4th graders, and 33.8% of 5th graders were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to state averages of 43.6%, 50.8%, and 52.3%, respectively. The school's math proficiency rates are also lower than state and district averages across all grade levels. Additionally, Oak Valley has experienced high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 8.2% to 18.1% over the past few years, significantly higher than the state's average.

While Oak Valley Elementary School is underperforming compared to the state, it is performing better than some nearby schools in the Woodbury City Public School District, such as West End Memorial Elementary and Evergreen Avenue Elementary, which have even lower academic proficiency rates and higher chronic absenteeism. The school's relatively low student-teacher ratio of 12:1 suggests potential opportunities to improve instructional practices and provide more targeted support to struggling students.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
