Crossroads North Middle School

Summary:

Crossroads North Middle School is a public middle school located in Monmouth Junction, New Jersey, serving 917 students in grades 6-8. The school is part of the South Brunswick School District, which is ranked 137 out of 615 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating.

Crossroads North stands out for its exceptional academic performance, with students consistently ranking in the top 20% of New Jersey middle schools over the past 10 years. The school's students excel in advanced mathematics courses, with over 70% proficiency rates in Algebra I and Geometry, significantly higher than the state and district averages. However, the school faces challenges in addressing achievement gaps among its diverse student population, as the Asian and African American students perform at a higher level than their Hispanic and White peers.

Compared to nearby middle schools, such as Crossroads South Middle School, North Brunswick Township Middle School, and Grace M. Breckwedel Middle School, Crossroads North's performance is generally stronger, with higher academic proficiency rates and state rankings. The school's low chronic absenteeism rate and high per-student spending may be contributing factors to its success, though further investigation into the school's instructional practices and support systems could provide additional insights.

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.
