Summary

Williamstown Middle School is a public middle school serving grades 5-8 in the Monroe Township Public School District in Williamstown, New Jersey. The school has a total enrollment of 1,744 students and has consistently ranked in the middle range of New Jersey middle schools over the past 10 years.

While Williamstown Middle School's proficiency rates on standardized tests are generally below state averages across grade levels and subject areas, the school stands out for its exceptional Algebra I performance, with 95.2% of 8th graders scoring proficient or better, significantly exceeding the state average of 72.7%. However, the school struggles with relatively high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 14.6% to 19.3% over the past few years, which are above the state average. Compared to nearby middle schools in the region, such as Pine Hill Middle School and Chestnut Ridge Middle School, Williamstown Middle School's performance is generally on par or slightly below.

The school's diverse student population, with 37.9% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, presents both challenges and opportunities. While the school's African American and English Language Learner students perform relatively well compared to their peers statewide, the school struggles to close gaps for other subgroups, such as White and Asian students. This suggests a need for targeted interventions and support to address achievement gaps and improve overall academic performance at Williamstown Middle School.
