Summary

Byram Intermediate School is a public middle school serving grades 5-8 in Stanhope, New Jersey, with 379 students. The school is part of the Byram Township School District, which is ranked 223 out of 609 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Byram Intermediate School consistently performs above the state average on NJSLA/PARCC assessments across all grades and subjects, with proficiency rates as high as 74.1% in 6th grade ELA. The school also excels in supporting its student subgroups, ranking among the top middle schools in New Jersey for female, male, Hispanic, and special education students. With relatively low chronic absenteeism rates and a small student-teacher ratio, the school appears to be allocating significant resources to provide a strong academic foundation for its students.

When compared to nearby middle schools, such as Hackettstown Middle School, Halsted Middle School, and Mount Olive Middle School, Byram Intermediate School generally outperforms them on academic measures. While the school is performing well overall, there may be opportunities to further improve in areas like mathematics proficiency, which lags behind its strong ELA performance.
