Midland School #1 stands out for its diverse student population, with a higher percentage of Hispanic (48.79%) and Asian (7.09%) students compared to nearby schools. Academically, the school has consistently outperformed the state average in English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics across multiple grade levels, with its 7th-grade ELA proficiency rate reaching an impressive 90.5% in 2022-2023, significantly higher than the state average of 55.7%. The school has also shown strong performance for its special education and low-socioeconomic status (SES) student subgroups, ranking in the top 5% and top 3% of New Jersey elementary schools, respectively, in these categories.

However, Midland School #1 has experienced a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 4.4% in 2020-2021 to 17.4% in 2021-2022, which is higher than the state average. Additionally, while the school's overall academic performance is strong, its ranking for White students has declined from the 2nd percentile in 2020-2021 to the 1st percentile in 2022-2023, indicating a potential area for improvement. Despite these challenges, Midland School #1 generally outperforms the nearby schools, such as Salome H. Long Memorial School and Columbus School, in academic metrics, suggesting the school is providing a quality education to its diverse student population.

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.
