Summary:
The Shamong Township School District in New Jersey consists of two schools: Indian Mills Elementary School and Indian Mills Memorial School. While both schools have strong academic performance, Indian Mills Memorial School stands out as the district's top-performing school, ranking in the top 27% of New Jersey middle schools.
Indian Mills Memorial School boasts a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger and stronger academic proficiency rates than the state average in English Language Arts across all grade levels and in Algebra I for 8th grade. In contrast, Indian Mills Elementary School has a 3-star rating and more mixed academic results, though it still outperforms the state average in English Language Arts.
Both schools in the Shamong Township School District have a majority white student population and higher-than-average chronic absenteeism rates. While Indian Mills Elementary School spends more per student, it does not necessarily translate to better academic outcomes compared to the more cost-effective Indian Mills Memorial School. Overall, the district appears to have a strong middle school option, but there may be room for improvement at the elementary level and in addressing diversity and attendance issues across the district.
