Deptford Township Middle School has a diverse student population, with 51.4% White, 24.25% African American, 15.73% Hispanic, and 6.36% Asian students. However, the school's performance has declined in recent years, dropping from a 4-star statewide ranking in 2017-2018 to a 2-star ranking in 2022-2023. African American students perform relatively well, ranking 99 out of 361 New Jersey middle schools, but Asian and White students perform below average. The school also faces challenges with chronic absenteeism, which has risen from 11.0% in 2018-2019 to 18.5% in 2021-2022. Academically, the school's proficiency rates in 6th-grade English Language Arts (35.5%) and 8th-grade Math (14.6%) are below the state averages, though the school excels in Algebra I with a 91.3% proficiency rate.

Compared to nearby schools, such as Clearview Regional Middle School and Orchard Valley Middle School, Deptford Township Middle School's performance is generally lower. The school also has a relatively high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds (31.14% qualify for free or reduced-price lunch), and its spending per student ($9,192 in 2018-2019) is lower than many of the nearby schools, which may contribute to its challenges.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
