Middle Schools in Morris School District


Summary:

The Morris School District is home to a single middle school, Frelinghuysen Middle School, which serves students in grades 6-8. The school boasts a diverse student population, with a mix of White, Hispanic, and African American students. While Frelinghuysen Middle School has maintained a consistent 3-star rating from SchoolDigger over the past three years, its performance shows some areas of strength and concern.

One of the school's key strengths is its exceptional performance in English Language Arts (ELA) and advanced math subjects like Algebra I and Geometry, where students consistently outperform state averages. However, the school faces challenges in 8th-grade mathematics and science proficiency, where students lag behind their peers across the state. Additionally, the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 21.5% is higher than the state average, which may be an area requiring further attention.

Despite these areas of concern, Frelinghuysen Middle School appears to be a relatively strong performer within the Morris School District, with a diverse student population and a reasonable allocation of resources, as evidenced by its per-student spending of $11,182. As parents and community members consider educational options in the area, the school's strengths in ELA and advanced math, as well as its areas for improvement, should be carefully considered.
