Oaklyn Public School District is a community public school district that serves students in kindergarten through ninth grade from Oaklyn, in Camden County, New Jersey, United States. Oaklyn is the only district in New Jersey that uses a Kindergarten through ninth grade format. The district consists of two separate schools within one building.
As of the 2014-15 school year, the district and its one school had an enrollment of 483 students and 37.5 classroom teachers (on an FTE basis), for a student–teacher ratio of 12.9:1.
The district is classified by the New Jersey Department of Education as being in District Factor Group "CD", the sixth-highest of eight groupings. District Factor Groups organize districts statewide to allow comparison by common socioeconomic characteristics of the local districts. From lowest socioeconomic status to highest, the categories are A, B, CD, DE, FG, GH, I and J.
Students in tenth through twelfth grades from Oaklyn attend Collingswood High School as part of a sending/receiving relationship. As of the 2014-15 school year, the high school had an enrollment of 718 students and 63.6 classroom teachers (on an FTE basis), for a student–teacher ratio of 11.3:1.
Oaklyn Public School had also served students in Kindergarten through eighth grade from Hi-Nella, a non-operating school district. With Hi-Nella ending its sending/receiving relationship under a phase-out that would see all Hi-Nella students out of Oaklyn's school by 2016-17, the district saw overall enrollment decline from 469 in 2011-12 to 384 in 2014-15. The loss of Hi-Nella's students, and the tuition revenue that accounted for as much as 10% of Oaklyn's budget, have caused significant strain on the district's budget, which has seen a substantial decline in its fiscal balance.
