Summary:
The Hazlet Township Public School District in New Jersey is home to three middle schools serving grades 5-8: Hazlet Middle School, Beers Street School, and Cove Road School. While the schools share a district, they exhibit notable differences in academic performance, student demographics, and resource allocation.
Beers Street School and Cove Road School stand out as the top performers, outpacing the district and state averages in English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency for 5th and 6th grades. Beers Street School also boasts the lowest chronic absenteeism rate at 5.3% and the highest per-student spending at $9,122. In contrast, Hazlet Middle School struggles with lower proficiency rates, particularly in Mathematics and Science, compared to the district and state.
Demographic factors also vary across the schools. Cove Road School has the lowest percentage of free/reduced lunch recipients at 16.49%, while Hazlet Middle School has the highest percentage of Hispanic students at 19.4%. The district as a whole maintains relatively low student-teacher ratios, ranging from 8.7 to 10.6, suggesting a focus on small class sizes, though the variation in per-student spending may indicate differences in resource allocation priorities.
