How much the mix changed

Between 2021-22 and 2025-26 the makeup of this school barely moved.

That’s the smallest shift among the district’s five elementary schools — smaller than 84% of Camden County elementary schools. That roughly tracks the district overall (7.9) — a district-wide change more than a school-specific one. The biggest moves, in percentage points:
Hispanic +2.6·Asian −1.7·Black −1.3

Not reported by the state in some years (shaded). Since 2014, some districts provide free meals to all students regardless of household income, which can lift the eligible share.

Test scores

On the NJSLA — New Jersey’s state test — here is how students have scored over recent years and by grade. (New Jersey reports student-growth scores only through grade 8, so they are not available for high schools.)

1 · did not meet2 · partially met3 · approached4 · met5 · exceeded

English language arts: 50% met or exceeded expectations in 2024-25 (state 53%), up from 27.9% in 2021-22.

In each panel the flat line is the proficiency boundary: levels 4–5 (met or exceeded) fill the area above it, levels 1–3 below — so a smaller reported share in levels 4–5 makes the area above the line shrink (it isn’t a misleading upward slope). Light = level 1 (did not yet meet expectations), dark = level 5 (exceeded); the % marks the proficient share at the first and last points. The first set of panels follows each grade across the years; the second lines up aggregate grade results one grade higher each year. It approximates a class cohort, not linked individual students. Growth is the median Student Growth Percentile (50 = a typical year), reported only through grade 8. The NJSLA was not given in spring 2020 and was disrupted the next year.
