Academically, T. E. Harrington Middle School has consistently ranked in the top half of New Jersey middle schools, with a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger in recent years. The school's performance on NJSLA tests is generally on par with or slightly above the district and state averages, particularly in English Language Arts.
