Summary:
The Bloomfield Township School District in New Jersey has only one middle school, Bloomfield Middle School, which serves grades 7-8 with a total enrollment of 929 students. The school's performance has been mixed, with fluctuating statewide rankings and a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Bloomfield Middle School's academic performance, as measured by NJSLA test scores, shows strengths in Algebra I, where 84.7% of 8th graders and end-of-course students scored proficient or better, compared to the state averages of 72.7% and 38.2%. However, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics were lower than the state averages. The school's 8th-grade science proficiency rate was also below the state average.
The school faces some challenges, including a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate of 14.9% and a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch at 39.29%. On the positive side, the school has a lower student-teacher ratio of 11.3, which could allow for more individualized attention and support for students. Overall, the Bloomfield Township School District has room for improvement in its middle school academic performance, and the district may need to explore strategies to address the factors contributing to the school's mixed results.
