New Egypt Middle School

Summary:

New Egypt Middle School is a public middle school serving 261 students in grades 6-8 in the Plumsted Township School District in New Jersey. The school has a predominantly White student population (80.84%), with smaller percentages of Hispanic (14.94%), African American (1.53%), Asian (0.77%), and students of two or more races (1.92%).

New Egypt Middle School has shown strong academic performance, particularly in English Language Arts (ELA). In the 2022-2023 school year, the school's ELA proficiency rates were above the state average for all three grade levels, with the 8th grade ELA proficiency rate of 64.6% significantly higher than the state average of 55.3%. However, the school's mathematics proficiency rates were more mixed, with 6th and 7th grade performing above the state average but 8th grade falling below at 27.1% proficient, compared to the state average of 17.8%. The school's relatively low percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds (14.56%) suggests it serves a more affluent community, which may contribute to its stronger academic performance.

When compared to nearby middle schools, such as Pond Road Middle School in the Robbinsville Public School District, New Egypt Middle School generally performs better academically, particularly in ELA. However, the school's increasing chronic absenteeism rate, from 6.3% in 2018-2019 to 13.1% in 2021-2022, and variability in its statewide ranking and rating indicate areas for potential improvement. Continued focus on addressing the needs of all students, particularly those in underperforming subgroups, could help the school maintain and improve its academic standing.

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.
