Summary:
The North Plainfield School District in New Jersey has two middle schools: Somerset School and North Plainfield Middle School. Both schools are performing significantly below the state average on various academic measures, with high chronic absenteeism rates and low proficiency levels in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science.
The data shows that both Somerset School and North Plainfield Middle School have high percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a predominantly low-income population. Additionally, the spending per student is relatively low compared to the state average, which may contribute to the academic challenges faced by these schools. The student-teacher ratios are relatively small, with 10:1 at Somerset School and 9.7:1 at North Plainfield Middle School.
Overall, the North Plainfield School District is facing significant challenges in providing a quality education to its middle school students. The consistently low academic performance, high poverty levels, and high chronic absenteeism rates suggest a need for a comprehensive review and improvement plan to address the underlying issues and support student success.
