Summary:

The Absecon Public Schools District has only one middle school, Emma C Attales, which serves students in grades 6-8. The school's performance has fluctuated in recent years, with a statewide rank between 333 and 354 out of 743-752 New Jersey middle schools and a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Emma C Attales' proficiency rates in NJSLA/English Language Arts and Mathematics are generally below the state averages, the school stands out for its exceptional performance in NJSLA/Algebra I, with significantly higher proficiency rates than the state average. However, the school's proficiency rates in NJSLA-S/Science for 5th and 8th grades are below the state averages. The school serves a population with a high percentage (52.42%) of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating significant economic challenges.

The school's relatively low student-teacher ratio of 11.1 for the 2023-2024 school year suggests that the district is allocating resources to support the school's operations and staffing. However, the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 14.9% for the same year is a metric to monitor, as it can impact student learning and achievement. Overall, Emma C Attales Middle School faces both strengths and challenges, and continued data-driven decision-making will be crucial for the school and district to address these areas and support student success.
