Middle Schools in Toms River Regional School District

The Toms River Regional School District in New Jersey is home to three middle schools: Toms River Intermediate School East, Toms River Intermediate School South, and Toms River Intermediate School North. These schools serve students in grades 6-8 and provide a range of academic and extracurricular opportunities.

Among the three middle schools, Toms River Intermediate School East stands out as the top performer, consistently ranking higher than the other two schools in the district and outperforming the state and district averages in most subject areas, particularly in Algebra I and Geometry. Toms River Intermediate School South also performs better than Toms River Intermediate School North in several subject areas, but it has a higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.

While the schools have relatively low student-teacher ratios, they all struggle with low proficiency rates in 8th-grade Mathematics, with the highest rate being 15.4% at Toms River Intermediate School East. Additionally, all three schools have relatively high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 16.6% to 16.6%, which is an area that the Toms River Regional School District may want to address to improve overall student engagement and performance.
