Despite these challenges, the school's student-teacher ratio of 8.9 is lower than the state average, indicating a relatively small class size. Overall, Alfred S. Faust Middle School appears to be a relatively strong-performing school within the East Rutherford School District, with particular strengths in mathematics and Algebra I, but also areas for potential improvement, such as in Science and addressing chronic absenteeism.
