Summary

Winslow Township Middle School is a public middle school serving grades 7-8 in the Winslow Township School District, located in Atco, New Jersey. With 794 students, the school faces several challenges, including consistently low academic performance, high chronic absenteeism, and significant equity gaps between different student subgroups.

On state assessments, Winslow Township Middle School's proficiency rates lag far behind the state averages, with only 27.4% of 7th graders proficient or better in ELA and just 14.2% in math. The school's performance is also significantly lower than that of nearby schools, such as Voorhees Middle School, which outperforms Winslow Township Middle School by 30-40 percentage points on these assessments. Additionally, the school has high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 9.1% to 16.6% over the past few years, which is much higher than the state average.

Winslow Township Middle School's performance also varies greatly across different student subgroups, with Asian students performing relatively well but White, Hispanic, and English Language Learner students performing significantly worse, ranking in the bottom 25% of New Jersey middle schools. Despite the school's relatively high spending per student and low student-teacher ratio, these resources do not appear to be translating into improved academic outcomes, suggesting potential issues with resource allocation and utilization. Addressing these challenges will require a comprehensive approach focused on improving instructional practices, addressing the needs of diverse student populations, and ensuring the effective use of available resources.

Open Quote This school is simply atrocious. The students behave like wild animals, both in the hallways and in class, especially when a substitute is in the class. Constant loud talking, screaming, and shouting as if they are at a stadium. It is often impossible for well-behaved, interested students to learn given all the madness that happens in class. This is highly unfair and unjust. My daughter complained so much that I asked my brother to apply to be a substitute so I could find out almost firsthand. She hadn't exaggerated. As my brother saw, if parents could see the madness in the school, they would all immediately remove their kids if at all possible. I feel sorry for any students who must suffer through that jungle environment he shared with me. We took the hit and got loans to put our child in private school. No one at the school does anything about the behavior problems. The students run the school and are permitted to act wild and crazy. It should not be acceptable. Blame must lie on the principal and the school board. This school needs many more male managers on site to control the student body. It needs 10 to 20 big males in the hallways at all times to monitor hallways and classrooms for out of control behavior and students must be punished. My brother said the school takes an entirely lax attitude toward the stupid student antics and behavior. I cannot see how any good permanent teacher continues to work in that constant chaos. They probably don't. So, as parents, you must know that your child is not getting a good education at this horrific school. Avoid it at all costs. It's a horror movie taking place at a school. Anyone rating this school above a 2 must be taken with a grain of salt. Close Quote
