Middle Schools in Ewing Township School District

The Ewing Township School District in New Jersey has one middle school, Gilmore J Fisher Middle School, which serves students in grades 6-8. The school's performance on standardized tests is generally below the state average, with proficiency rates ranging from 6% to 79.1% across different subject areas and grade levels. The school's overall statewide ranking has also declined over the past few years, from 409 out of 652 New Jersey middle schools in 2020-2021 to 552 out of 748 in 2022-2023.

Gilmore J Fisher Middle School has a diverse student population, with 45.26% African American, 24.78% Hispanic, 20.99% White, and 3.16% Asian students. However, the school has a high percentage of students (50.06%) eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a significant socioeconomic disadvantage among the student body. The school's per-student spending for the 2018-2019 school year was $18,033, which is higher than the state average, and the student-teacher ratio is 8.8, which is lower than the typical class size in many schools.

While the school's Algebra I proficiency rate is relatively high at 79.1%, its performance in other subject areas, particularly Mathematics and Science, is significantly below the state average. This uneven academic performance suggests that the school may be struggling to provide a well-rounded education across all academic disciplines. The high percentage of socioeconomically disadvantaged students and the school's declining statewide ranking indicate that the school may need additional resources and support to improve student learning and achievement.
