Summary:
Spotswood Public School District has only one middle school, Spotswood Memorial Middle School, which serves grades 6-8. Located in Spotswood, New Jersey, the school has a diverse student population with a predominantly White (64.39%) student body, as well as significant Hispanic (22.26%) and Asian (6.23%) populations.
Academically, Spotswood Memorial Middle School's performance is generally below the state averages, particularly in 7th and 8th grade English Language Arts and 8th grade Mathematics. The school's chronic absenteeism rate of 25.3% is also quite high, indicating a need to address attendance and engagement issues. However, the school's spending per student of $11,377 is in line with the state average, suggesting that funding may not be a significant factor in the school's academic performance.
Over the past few years, Spotswood Memorial Middle School's statewide ranking has declined, from 346 out of 652 New Jersey middle schools in 2020-2021 to 424 out of 748 in 2022-2023. This decline suggests that the school may need to identify and address the underlying factors contributing to this trend, such as instructional practices, student support systems, and resource allocation, in order to drive improvements and better serve the needs of its diverse student population.
