Summary:
The Secaucus School District is home to a single standout middle school, Secaucus Middle School, which consistently outperforms state averages on academic assessments and ranks among the top third of New Jersey middle schools.
Secaucus Middle School's academic excellence is evident in its exceptional performance on NJSLA/PARCC assessments, with 60.9% of 6th graders, 64.4% of 7th graders, and 62.6% of 8th graders scoring proficient or better in English Language Arts, surpassing the state averages. The school's Algebra I and Geometry proficiency rates are also exceptional, with 100% of students scoring proficient or better in Algebra I and 92.3% in Geometry. This strong performance in advanced mathematics suggests that the school is effectively preparing students for academic success.
While the school's overall academic performance is impressive, the relatively high chronic absenteeism rate of 14.9% may be an area for improvement. However, the school's diverse student population, with a racial makeup of 27.23% White, 3.83% African American, 38.09% Hispanic, and 29.57% Asian, reflects the broader demographics of the Secaucus community and could contribute to a rich learning environment that prepares students for success in an increasingly diverse world.
