Summary:
The North Brunswick Township School District in New Jersey is home to two middle schools: North Brunswick Township Middle School and Linwood School. While both schools serve a diverse student population, they face significant challenges in academic performance, student engagement, and serving the needs of economically disadvantaged students.
Academically, both schools perform below the state average in most subject areas, with North Brunswick Township Middle School generally outperforming Linwood School. Proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics are particularly low, with only around 40-50% of students meeting proficiency standards. Additionally, both schools have high rates of chronic absenteeism, which may be contributing to the lower academic performance.
The North Brunswick Township School District as a whole is ranked 488 out of 615 districts in New Jersey and is rated 1 star out of 5 by SchoolDigger, indicating relatively low performance compared to other districts in the state. Both middle schools have consistently ranked in the bottom half of New Jersey middle schools, with Linwood School ranking between 414 and 460 out of 712-745 schools. The high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 37.88% at North Brunswick Township Middle School to 41.71% at Linwood School, suggests that the schools serve a significant population of economically disadvantaged students, who may require additional resources and support to address their unique educational needs.
