Summary

Veterans Memorial Middle is a public middle school located in Vineland, New Jersey, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 613 students. It is part of the Vineland Public School District, which is ranked 548 out of 609 districts in New Jersey and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Veterans Memorial Middle consistently ranks in the bottom half of New Jersey middle schools, with a ranking between 664-698 out of 745-752 schools over the past 5 years. The school's performance on NJSLA assessments is significantly below the state and district averages across all grade levels and subjects. For example, in 2024-2025, only 20.6% of 6th graders, 21.6% of 7th graders, and 21.6% of 8th graders were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to the state averages of 56.1%, 57%, and 57.1%, respectively. Mathematics proficiency is even lower, with only 15.6% of 6th graders, 13.5% of 7th graders, and 3.6% of 8th graders meeting or exceeding standards, compared to the state averages of 39.8%, 38.8%, and 20.7%.

The nearby Sgt. Dominick Pilla Middle School and Thomas W. Wallace Junior Middle School, both part of the Vineland Public School District, perform significantly better than Veterans Memorial Middle on academic measures, with higher proficiency rates and better statewide rankings. In contrast, the Edward Johnstone Middle School, also in the Vineland district, has a similar low-performing profile to Veterans Memorial Middle. The high rates of chronic absenteeism and economic disadvantage among the student population may be contributing factors to the school's low academic performance, suggesting a need for targeted interventions and support services.
