Summary:
The Hamilton Township School District in New Jersey has only one middle school, William Davies Middle School, which serves grades 6-8. The school's academic performance is a significant concern, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics well below the state average. Additionally, the school faces high chronic absenteeism rates, which may be contributing to its academic challenges.
Academically, William Davies Middle School struggles, with proficiency rates ranging from 29.9% to 34.2% in English Language Arts and 4% to 17.6% in Mathematics, compared to state averages of 49% to 55.7% and 17.8% to 34.3%, respectively. However, the school's Algebra I proficiency rate of 56.7% is higher than the state average of 35.1%. Science proficiency is also a concern, with the school's rate of 7.9% significantly lower than the state average of 18.6%.
Despite the school's academic challenges, it has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 11.5 for the 2022-2023 school year. However, the school's per-student spending of $8,975 is relatively low compared to the state average. These factors, combined with the school's consistently low ranking and 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, suggest that the Hamilton Township School District and William Davies Middle School may need to implement targeted interventions and strategies to improve student outcomes and overall school performance.
