Oaklyn Public School District

Oaklyn Public School District is a community public school district that serves students in kindergarten through fifth grade from Oaklyn, in Camden County, New Jersey, United States. Prior to the 2018-2019 school year Oaklyn Public School served students through ninth grade. Oaklyn was the last district in New Jersey that used a Kindergarten through ninth grade format.As of May 2018, the district and its one school had an enrollment of 356 students, down from 483 students in 2015, for a student–teacher ratio of 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 sixth through twelfth grades from Oaklyn attend Collingswood Middle School and Collingswood High School as part of a sending/receiving relationship. As of the 2016-17 school year, the school had an enrollment of 702 students and 63.7 classroom teachers (on an FTE basis), for a student–teacher ratio of 11.0:1.Oaklyn Public School had also served students in K-8 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.In 2017 the Oaklyn Board of Education and the Collingswood Board of Education finalized an agreement to expand the send-receive relationship to send Oaklyn students to Collingswood school in sixth grade starting with the 2018-2019 school year. Previously the agreement only included students in grades ten through twelve.
