Middle Schools in Bergenfield Borough School District

The Bergenfield Borough School District in New Jersey is home to a single middle school, Roy W. Brown Middle School, which serves grades 6-8. The school has consistently ranked in the top 40% of New Jersey middle schools over the past three years, with a ranking of 280 out of 752 schools in 2024-2025.

Roy W. Brown Middle School's performance on the NJSLA (New Jersey Student Learning Assessments) is generally above the state average, with higher proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA) and Algebra I. However, the school's performance in Mathematics is more mixed, with proficiency rates below the state average in some grade levels. Additionally, the school's proficiency rate in Science (NJSLA-S) for 8th grade is lower than the state average. The school has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, at 36.24% in the 2023-2024 school year, and a student-teacher ratio of 12.2, which is slightly lower than the state average.

Despite these challenges, the school's higher-than-average per-student spending of $10,070 for the 2018-2019 school year may indicate a focus on providing adequate resources and support for its students, which could be contributing to its overall performance. The school's consistent ranking in the top 40% of New Jersey middle schools suggests it is a relatively strong-performing school within the Bergenfield Borough School District, with areas of strength and potential areas for improvement.
