Summary

Edward Johnstone Middle School is a public middle school in Vineland, New Jersey, serving 296 students in grades 6-8. Despite being part of the Vineland Public School District, which is ranked 548 out of 609 districts in the state, Edward Johnstone Middle School stands out as a relatively high-performing school within its district.

The school consistently outperforms the district and the state of New Jersey in standardized test scores, with 60.2% of 8th graders proficient or better in NJSLA/English Language Arts, compared to 33.2% for the district and 57.1% for the state. Additionally, the school has a higher ranking within the state, ranging from 255 out of 745 New Jersey middle schools in 2021-2022 to 421 out of 748 in 2022-2023. This suggests the school is performing better than its district average. The school has also shown strong performance for certain student subgroups, such as African American and Hispanic students, who rank higher than their peers in the state.

Interestingly, the school's low-socioeconomic status students have ranked 8 out of 467 and 549 New Jersey middle schools in the 2020-2021 and 2021-2022 school years, respectively, earning a 5-star rating. However, the school has experienced fluctuations in chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 13.4% in 2022-2023 to 30.3% in 2023-2024, which is an area of concern. The school's success is likely due to a combination of factors, including its higher spending per student, low student-teacher ratio, and effective instructional practices, as it consistently outperforms other middle schools in the Vineland Public School District and some in neighboring districts, such as Woodruff Middle School and Lakeside Middle School.
