Summary:
The Cliffside Park School District in New Jersey has only one middle school, School #6/Middle School, which serves students in grades 5-8. This middle school stands out for its exceptional Algebra I performance, with 100% of 8th-grade and end-of-course students scoring proficient or better, far exceeding the state average. However, the school's academic achievement is inconsistent, with English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency rates above the state average but Mathematics and Science proficiency rates below the state average.
The school's diverse student population, with a majority Hispanic enrollment and a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, suggests the need for targeted support and interventions to address the unique needs of its low-income and minority students. The school's statewide ranking has fluctuated in recent years, indicating variable performance compared to other New Jersey middle schools, despite maintaining a consistent 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Overall, School #6/Middle School in the Cliffside Park School District demonstrates strengths in Algebra I performance but faces challenges in ensuring more balanced academic achievement across subject areas. The school's diverse student population and high poverty levels also highlight the importance of providing targeted support and resources to help all students succeed.
