Lyndhurst Middle School

Q: Is Lyndhurst Middle School a good school?

Lyndhurst Middle School ranks 438 th of 748 New Jersey middle schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 2 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Lyndhurst Middle School is a public middle school serving grades 6-8 in Lyndhurst, New Jersey, with a student population of 606 that is predominantly White (48.35%) and Hispanic (39.44%). However, the school's academic performance, as measured by standardized test scores, is generally below the state averages, and its statewide ranking and SchoolDigger rating have declined in recent years.

Lyndhurst Middle School's proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics are lower than the state averages across most grade levels, with its 8th grade students performing particularly poorly compared to the state. The school's Hispanic students perform relatively well, ranking 285 out of 587 New Jersey middle schools, but its White and Special Education students perform significantly worse, ranking 414 out of 509 and 414 out of 505 New Jersey middle schools, respectively. Additionally, Lyndhurst Middle School has a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate of 10.2%, compared to the state averages of 14.9% for Secaucus Middle School and 14.1% for Bloomfield Middle School.

These challenges suggest that Lyndhurst Middle School may need to implement targeted interventions, allocate additional resources, and focus on addressing the specific needs of its underperforming student subgroups, such as its White and Special Education students. When compared to nearby middle schools, such as Union School and Secaucus Middle School, Lyndhurst Middle School generally performs worse in terms of academic achievement, statewide ranking, and student group performance, indicating a need for improvement in the school's educational programs and resources.

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.
