Summary:
The city of Atco, New Jersey is home to a single middle school, Winslow Township Middle School, which serves students in grades 6-8. The school's performance has consistently ranked in the bottom half of New Jersey middle schools, with a 1 out of 5 star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating it is performing significantly below average.
Academically, Winslow Township Middle School lags behind the state averages across multiple subjects and grade levels. In the 2024-2025 school year, only 27.4% of 7th graders were proficient in English Language Arts, compared to the state average of 57%, and only 14.2% were proficient in Mathematics, compared to the state average of 38.8%. The school's high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, at 48.24% in the 2023-2024 school year, may be a contributing factor to these academic challenges.
Despite the school's low performance, its student-teacher ratio of 12.1 is slightly lower than the state average. However, the school's per-student spending of $11,293 for the 2018-2019 school year may not be sufficient to address the unique needs of the student population and improve academic outcomes. The Winslow Township School District and school leadership may need to re-evaluate resource allocation and implement targeted interventions to support student success at Winslow Township Middle School.
