Summary:
The 08090 zip code area in New Jersey is home to 3 elementary schools: Oak Valley Elementary School, Pine Acres Early Childhood Center, and Wenonah Elementary School. While the schools share a geographic location, the data reveals significant disparities in their academic performance and resources.
Of the three schools, Wenonah Elementary stands out as the clear standout, consistently ranking in the top 27% of New Jersey elementary schools and maintaining a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. Wenonah students outperform state and district averages on standardized tests, and the school benefits from higher per-student spending and lower student-teacher ratios compared to the other schools in the area. In contrast, Oak Valley Elementary and Pine Acres Early Childhood Center have lower rankings, ratings, and academic outcomes, as well as higher rates of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.
The disparities in school performance and resources in the 08090 zip code area suggest potential inequities in the educational opportunities available to students. While Wenonah Boro School District is ranked significantly higher and rated better than the Deptford Township Public School District, which oversees the other two schools, the data highlights the need for a closer examination of the factors contributing to these differences and the implementation of strategies to ensure all students in the area have access to a high-quality education.
