Summary:
The Middlesex Borough School District in New Jersey has only one middle school, Von E. Mauger Middle School, which serves students in grades 6-8. The school has a diverse student population, with a significant Hispanic and Asian representation, as well as a notable population of economically disadvantaged students.
Academically, Von E. Mauger Middle School's performance is a mixed bag. While the school excels in Algebra I proficiency for 8th graders, its English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency rates are generally below the state averages across all grade levels. The school's Science proficiency rate for 8th grade is also lower than the state average. However, the school's student-teacher ratio is lower than the state average, which could indicate a more personalized learning environment.
The school also faces some challenges, such as a chronic absenteeism rate of 16.7%, which is a concern as it can negatively impact student learning and academic outcomes. Additionally, the school's per-student spending of $9,479 is a data point that could be further analyzed in the context of the school's academic performance and student needs. Overall, Von E. Mauger Middle School has both strengths and areas for improvement, and the district may need to focus on addressing the academic performance concerns and chronic absenteeism to support student success.
