Summary:
Egg Harbor City Community School is the only middle school listed in the Egg Harbor City School District; it serves grades 4–8 and had 266 students in 2024–2025. In 2025–2026, its averages across the listed grades were 26% in ELA, 17% in math and 6% in science, compared with New Jersey averages of 52%, 39% and 23%. The most important finding is that the school was below the state in every reported ELA, math and science grade, with its largest shortfall in grade 5 math: 40 percentage points.
There is no second school in the district list to rank against, but results differed considerably by grade. The school’s strongest ELA result was 48% in grade 8, just 6 points below the state’s 53%; its lowest was 14% in grade 5, 38 points below the state. In math, grade 6 was highest at 27%, while grade 5 was lowest at 6%; the grade 5 result trailed the state by 40 points. Science results were 8% in grade 5 and 5% in grade 8. Algebra I was 61%: 21 points above the statewide end-of-course result, but 13 points below the statewide grade 8 result, the more relevant comparison for eighth graders.
Average results improved year over year in ELA and math, though not in every grade: ELA rose 6 points and its gap to the state narrowed by 10 points; math rose 3 points and its gap narrowed by 2. ELA gains were strongest in grades 6 and 8, while math improved most in grades 4 and 6; other grades declined. Science’s two-grade average slipped from 8% to 6%, with its gap to the state nearly unchanged. SchoolDigger’s ranking improved from 709th of 743 schools (5th percentile, 0 stars) in 2023–2024 to 563rd of 743 (24th percentile, 1 star) in 2025–2026. For additional context, 79% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–2025, the student–teacher ratio was 8.7, and chronic absenteeism was 27%, compared with 14% statewide. With only one school listed, these figures provide no school-to-school comparison and do not explain the test results.
