Summary

Bloomfield Middle School is a public middle school serving 929 students in grades 7-8 in Bloomfield, New Jersey. The school is part of the Bloomfield Township School District, which is ranked 312 out of 609 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Bloomfield Middle School faces several challenges, including lower-than-average test scores, with only 53.6% of 7th graders proficient or better in ELA and just 31.9% of 7th graders and 16.9% of 8th graders meeting or exceeding math standards, compared to state averages. The school also has consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 14.4% to 16.6% over the past few years, and a relatively high percentage of students (around 40%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch. When compared to nearby middle schools, such as Memorial Middle School in Cedar Grove and Buzz Aldrin Middle School in Montclair, Bloomfield Middle School generally performs worse on standardized tests and has higher chronic absenteeism rates.

However, Bloomfield Middle School stands out for its exceptional performance in Algebra I, with proficiency rates ranging from 84.7% to 93.6% over the past few years, significantly higher than the district and state averages. This suggests the school may have a strong math program or be effectively identifying and supporting advanced math students. To address the school's overall challenges, the Bloomfield Township School District may need to implement targeted interventions, analyze the factors contributing to the school's declining performance, and explore best practices from higher-performing schools in the area.
