Original Research by School Decision on Cinnaminson Memorial School
Cinnaminson Memorial School serves only pre-kindergarten, so the usual measures that parents look for at a K-12 school, state test results and graduation rates, simply do not apply here. The school is one of five campuses in the Cinnaminson Township School District, a suburban system just across the Delaware River from Philadelphia. A parent considering this school is really looking at the district's early childhood entry point, and the data available is limited to enrollment and demographics.
The school enrolled just over fifty children, all in pre-kindergarten during the reported year, making it a very small program. Demographically, the student body was predominantly white, with Asian students making up the next largest group, followed by Hispanic and Black students. A small share of students qualified for free or reduced-price lunch. Information on students with disabilities and English learners was not available in the data provided.
Because Cinnaminson Memorial is a pre-kindergarten-only school, there are no proficiency scores, no graduation rate, and no chronic absenteeism data to report. The district's comparison fact-set tried to position the school against other Burlington County districts on those metrics, but correctly flagged each one as not applicable. A parent reading this should understand the absence of test data as a normal feature of a pre-K program, not a missing or weak result.
The surrounding community offers a suburban context. Cinnaminson is a mix of residential neighborhoods and commercial corridors, without a traditional downtown core. The township has grown steadily over recent decades and reports a motto of "Building Our Future... Together." The municipal website says the town "warmly welcome new businesses and support our long-term business partners," reinforcing the sense of a community oriented toward family and local commerce. Housing values in the area are above the national benchmark, and the market appears active, with properties spending a moderate amount of time on the market. The median listing price in the county has climbed modestly over the past year.
Parents sending a child to Cinnaminson Memorial will eventually progress through the district's other schools, which operate on separate campuses: New Albany Elementary, Rush Intermediate, Cinnaminson Middle School, and Cinnaminson High School. The district brief did not turn up any recent major changes such as referendums, curriculum shifts, or property tax increases that would alter the picture significantly. This school is a small, single-grade entry point in a stable suburban district, and the available data tells a straightforward story: a pre-kindergarten program that does not generate the academic performance metrics families might look for in higher grades.
