Salem Middle School

Summary:

Salem Middle School is a public middle school serving grades 3-8 in the Salem City School District in Salem, New Jersey. The school has 487 students and is ranked 735 out of 743 New Jersey middle schools, with a 0 out of 5 star rating from SchoolDigger. Despite being a low-performing school for many years, Salem Middle School has not shown significant improvement in its rankings or test scores, remaining in the bottom 5-10% of New Jersey middle schools for the past decade.

Salem Middle School faces significant challenges in terms of student attendance, academic performance, and serving its diverse student population. The school has extremely high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 32.5% to 39.3% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state average. Academically, the percentage of students proficient or better in NJSLA English Language Arts and Mathematics is consistently well below the state and district averages, often less than half the state average. The school also struggles to serve its diverse student population, ranking in the bottom 25% of New Jersey middle schools for African American, Hispanic, Special Education, and Low Socioeconomic Status students.

When comparing Salem Middle School to nearby middle schools, the performance gap is stark. For example, Woodstown Middle School, just 9.5 miles away, outperforms Salem Middle School across nearly every metric, including test scores, chronic absenteeism, and subgroup performance. This suggests the issues at Salem Middle School are not simply due to regional factors. Despite spending approximately $9,400 per student, which is on the lower end compared to nearby districts, the school's student-teacher ratio is relatively low at 16.2, indicating a need for more effective resource allocation to address the school's 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.
