Middle Schools in Middletown Township Public School District

The Middletown Township Public School District in New Jersey is home to three middle schools: Thompson Middle School, Thorne Middle School, and Bayshore Middle School. Based on the data analysis, Thompson Middle School stands out as the top-performing school in the district, consistently ranking among the best middle schools in New Jersey and earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Thompson Middle School outperforms the district and state averages in both English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency across all grade levels. In contrast, Thorne Middle School lags behind the other two schools, with lower proficiency rates in both subjects. Bayshore Middle School also performs well, with strong ELA scores and above-average Math scores. The data suggests that the differences in academic achievement between the schools may be related to factors such as per-student spending and the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, which is highest at Thorne Middle School.

While all three middle schools in the Middletown Township Public School District have the same chronic absenteeism rate, the disparities in test scores and other metrics raise questions about equity and the distribution of resources and opportunities across the district. Further investigation may be needed to understand the underlying factors contributing to these differences and ensure that all students in the district have access to a high-quality education.
